Dear Parents,

After a summer like we had last year, we couldn’t be more excited for this summer of 2021!  As we’ve prayerfully been preparing for this new season we have been more and more aware of the need to “Carry the Torch.”  Campers at Trail Ridge this summer will be reminded of their responsibility to be a good steward of the Gospel in their generation.  This job is not one to be taken lightly as we prepare to accept the torch from our predecessors, faithfully carry it and plan to entrust the torch to the next generation.  Each week, your campers will be confronted with life-changing truths from God’s Holy Word during the chapel sessions as well as devotional times.  Trained counselors will assist campers in navigating the Bible throughout the week at camp.  Wholesome meals will be served up by our kitchen staff with careful consideration for your campers needs.  Our volunteer staff will ensure a clean and functional environment for all who attend camp this summer.  As usual, a priority position is given to the healthcare and safety of our campers with a camp nurse on site for the duration of each camp week.  In a celebration of God’s faithfulness, we are extending to all summer youth campers a buy one, get one free registration.  That means that all campers will have the opportunity to invite a friend, neighbor or sibling to join them during their week of camp absolutely free.  We know many have been affected financially in the past year.  With that in mind, we invite you to share your financial needs with us regarding camper registrations and apply for a scholarship.  Many faithful supporters have given to camp with your financial needs in mind, and it would be our joy to extend a scholarship to your family if you’re in need. We hope you, your family and your friends can join us for camp this summer.  As a staff, we’re excited to see what God will do in the lives of our campers during this 2021 camping season!

Aaron Schneider Camp Director

Join us this summer for Family Camp. At this special short camp just for families, you’ll be able to see, feel, and get a taste of Trail Ridge. Your time will be chock-full of opportunities for you to explore and experience the camp. Take a paddle around the pond, go for a hike, play some Octo-Ball, and cool off in the game room with a snack from the Snack Shop. You’ll also be among the first to experience some of the new activities we’ll be unveiling for the summer.

Family Camp is perfect for a family who wants a short getaway, a family interested in sending campers, a family interested in volunteering in the future, or families who just can’t get enough of Trail Ridge!
