The opening day of camp is always exciting and it is wonderful to greet so many old friends and to begin to get to know first-time campers.? After almost two weeks of training and a successful first term, our staff members are seasoned veterans and we are proud of their enthusiasm, their skill, and their caring attitude. The campers have already made themselves at home; they seem as happy to be here as we are to have them.
Activities begin immediately.? This weekend some campers will be horseback riding; others will enjoy hikes to A-Bluff, the Crystal Beds, or Top of the World.? Crafts, sports, nature and geology explorations and preparatory training for everything from rock climbing to canoeing will contribute to a busy schedule for everyone.? Tomorrow night?s opening campfires at each camp are always fun and memorable.
During the weekend, campers at Big Spring and High Trails will sign up for their trips.? We are really anticipating the backcountry adventures we will share during the upcoming weeks?mountain climbs, backpacking trips, horsepack explorations and many more.
Sanborn Junior campers will spend Saturday and Sunday hiking, riding, swimming, making crafts and learning camping skills for their first campouts.? Sanborn Junior girls will join everyone at High Trails and leave Monday for their cabinside overnights on the ranch.? On Tuesday, the boys will all head out for their unit overnights.? Goals for these first campouts include getting to know cabin and tent mates, learning to work together as a group, enjoying the beauty of the Colorado mountains, getting acquainted with part of the spectacular 6000 acres owned by the camps, testing equipment and honing camping skills, as well as having a lot of fun!
Later in the week Big Spring and High Trails campers will choose from an exciting program of all-day hikes, horseback rides, river trips, ropes course challenges, and rock climbing as well as a varied in-camp program.? The Juniors will do more riding, swimming, archery, tennis and crafts.? They also have a great all-day trip to the river for tubing/rafting planned.
We have already posted photos from today.? Each weekend we will update these.?? We will post cabin and tent unit photos later in the week.? We?re looking forward to a great week?.
