My daughters have gone there every year (except the Covid year) since they were 7 -- they're 17 now. For one of my kids especially, it is probably her favorite place in the world and the source of the best memories of her childhood.

My son has gone to their Explorers summer camp for 2 years and loves it. Great program with wonderful counselors and experiences. Highly recommend!

Excellent. Delightful. Truly magic. The best in all the world.
Voted "Best of Boulder," the Colorado Mountain Ranch is independent and Walker family-owned and operated since 1947. The residential staff offers Summer Day Camp outdoor adventure programs for young people ages 7-17 and mountain events for groups.
At 8,500 feet above Boulder near the historic mining town of Gold Hill, Ranch visitors enjoy majestic vistas of the Rocky Mountain Front Range in the day and the twinkling lights of Denver by night. The Ranch is a magical place, a songbird sanctuary nestled in the mountains on 160 acres of wildflower meadows, pine forests, and aspen groves. At the heart of the Ranch is the rustic turn-of-the century log Lodge, exuding the ambience and hospitality of the Old West.
