Community

At High Trails Ranch, girls build friendships that last a lifetime.

One hundred and fifty girls ages 9-16 are divided into living units according to age and grade level. Campers and staff annually come from over forty states and a dozen countries, creating a community of richness and diversity.

Directors

Under the guidance of Krista White (Director), Callie Donaldson (In-Camp Program Director), and Carly Liebich (Trips Program Director), the High Trails Director team works together with the seasonal senior leadership team and a full-time staff of thirty educators and support personnel to oversee every aspect of camp life.

Krista, Callie, and Carly have worked in the camp industry for many years and each have served in a wide variety of roles, leading trips, creating programs, and fostering magical connections with nature and the community. They know every camper and are dedicated to creating a community of fun and respect. To learn more about Krista, Callie and Carly please visit the Meet the Directors page.

Counselors

Cabin counselors must have at least two years of college and are selected each summer for their experience and interest in working with children as well as for their skill in outdoor activities. Many return to camp for several summers, and all attend a week-long training prior to the arrival of campers.

Ridge Leaders

Ridge Leaders are older staff members who have much camp experience. They lead trips taken off the ranch and help with many other programs.

Nurses

Each camp has two nurses and a health center. Working with doctors in Woodland Park and Colorado Springs, nurses provide excellent medical attention.

Assistant Counselors are staff members who are entering their sophomore year in college. In addition to helping out with the program and trips, A.C.s set the tables and wash the dishes.
