Our Grounds

Attractive, well-maintained grounds at the camps blend with aspen groves, native wildflowers and magnificent mountain views to create a unique natural setting. At Big Spring, five boys and a counselor live in a permanent platform tent or in one of our yurts. Modern shower houses are located nearby.
