Rocky Mountain Camp in Estes Park

If you've got a few thousand dollars and want to send your kid off for a month then this camp would be great. Maybe not for your kid but for you. From what I can tell these camps actually are great for the kids. But I might not have made it a whole month. Give me a cabin with running water and civilization. If you had to rough it this camp would be awesome - the views and the air and the hiking and being away from civilization. The original dude of this camp started bringing kids out into the mountains for a few days and it grew from there. I'm guessing it was so long ago that you could buy huge amounts of mountain land for cheap. His grandson visited my teacher friend and I at the cabin and we had a long, long talk with him. He and Eddie had been friends for years and yet Eddie kept asking about the history of his grandfather and father who built the camp into what it is. I'm glad he did. I heard some very interesting stories. He had a religious zeal to him that was baked into the organization from its originator. A deep, heart-felt commitment that bringing kids out into nature was vital to the health of their mind, body, and spirit.
