Whether campers are just learning a new sport or have advanced skills, they will receive expert guidance from highly-trained instructors. In their downtime, they can relax at the lodge, enjoy great meals, explore the historic town of Crested Butte, participate in team building exercises, and art projects. The friendships and memories formed during their time at camp will last long after the last ski run or paddle stroke on the lake.
