High Trails Ranch – Summer Camps
for
Girls
The warmth and friendliness of
the all-girl community at High Trails camps is evident from the first moment you
step into the Lodge.
Staff members and campers are energetic, fun, and enthusiastic
about their adventures. Campers are justifiably proud of their accomplishments
which include climbing Colorado’s highest peaks, five-day wilderness backpacking trips,
other exciting trips and program challenges.
Our girls camps also offer a
concentration on horseback riding -– including overnight riding trips --
for those with a passion for horses, as well as a wide variety of other activities from which to choose.
The spirit of High Trails is
most evident when watching the girls warmly engaged with each other, laughing
together and helping one another -– in contrast to the cliquishness that is so
often present in schools. Sanborn camps
foster authentic friendships that can last a lifetime. Our 12,000 acres of Rocky Mountain wilderness is the perfect setting for our overnight
summer camps. Sanborn provides the perfect combination of outdoor adventures,
fun, friendships, relaxation, and life skills development.
The philosophy of Sanborn
camps includes free choice, new challenges, free play within the natural world and a strong sense of community and
cooperation. This builds self-esteem, self-reliance, self-confidence and
leadership initiative. The growth we see in our campers in terms of personal
development, authentic friendships and taking responsibility is inspiring. And the whole time, they are just having
summer FUN!

tried things that she never would have tried at home. She made great friends and has wonderful
stories! This camp was worth every penny! I think it is going to help her self-esteem
so much when she starts junior high this year." ---Tucson, AZ
