Information

Big Spring ranch for Boys:
Boys thrive in the enthusiastic, energetic community at Big Spring Ranch. They spend their days building confidence and strength in fun, challenging adventures like mountain climbing, horseback riding and backpacking. They play sports of all types for the joy of playing in a non-competitive environment emphasizing teamwork and fun. Most of all, each becomes an important member of a community based on friendship and cooperation. Guided by caring staff members who are outstanding role models, boys gain social and emotional skills which help them grow into responsible, confident adults. We hope you'll join us.

High Trails Ranch for Girls:
The warmth and friendliness of the all-girl community at High Trails is evident from the first moment you step into the Lodge. Staff members and campers are energetic, fun, and enthusiastic about their adventures. They are justifiably proud of their accomplishments which include climbing Colorado highest peaks, five-day wilderness backpacking trips, horseback riding overnights and many more program challenges. But the spirit of High Trails is most evident in the cabin living units and program centers where girls are laughing together, helping one another and forming friendships that will last a lifetime.
