Nestled securely against Hard Scrabble Mountain, The Learning Camp spreads out over 35 acres of private land known as Ute Springs Ranch, named after the Ute Indians who once lived here. While the camp is conveniently situated minutes from Eagle/Vail airport, we are worlds away in the Colorado Rockies between Eagle and Gypsum - mountain towns within Colorado’s Vail Valley.
Summer Camp Living
Campers sleep in huge circular canvas structures known as yurts, first used by nomads of central Asia. Each yurt is anchored to a large wooden deck and features bunk beds, windows, a central skylight and a door. There are two adult counselors assigned to each yurt.
Abbott Lodge is the cornerstone of camp activity with the kitchen, dining and study deck, bathhouses, laundry and camp directors’ offices. Planted throughout the 35 acres are ten outdoor classrooms where morning classes are held.
Summer Camp Activity
While campers choose from adventurous daytrip activities like horseback trail rides, caving, rock climbing, river rafting, hiking and camping, there is always plenty of supervised adventure right at camp. Swimming, canoeing, horseback riding, field sports, fishing, archery and arts and crafts are some of the fun kids will find on site. Click here for a complete list of camp activities.
