Whether it is your child's first time away from home, or their 8th year at camp, encourage your children and their friends to attend a week of camp and see how Rocky Mountain Mennonite Camp has been deepening faith development for over 50 years. Campers are organized into cabins of 5-9 kids, with one cabin mate request honored to the best of our ability.

We ensure that our staff is well trained to care for the campers needs. Our staff is typically college-aged students from Mennonite Colleges who are excited about working with children and youth. We realize that campers come from a variety of backgrounds (social, religious, etc.) and intentionally work at making sure each individual feels welcome. Below are descriptions about the resident camps we offer.

Senior High Resident

$160

Join other High School age campers in a week full of activities. Tammy Duvanel Unruh leads us in a time of worship surrounding the life of Jesus. High School campers have the optional Tuesday activity to choose from which include:

  • Whitewater Rafting down the Arkansas River in Buena Vista - $45
  • Mountain Biking around Horse Thief Valley - $25
  • Caving in one of Colorado's largest caves -$30
  • Overnight Backpacking in Hanging Valley - $Free

Other activities include Hiking, Worship, Persecution (a game that simulates the trials of the early Anabaptists), a day of sport Tournaments, Arts and Crafts, and other activities. The week concludes with a Coffee House of epic proportions where campers are encouraged to show their talents in a candle-lit environment. For many, the best part of the week is making new friends and reconnecting with old ones.

8th & 9th Grade Resident

$160

8th and 9th grade week is filled with a variety of activities around camp. Each camper will join other cabins in an overnight campout, once during the week. Other activities include Hiking, Worship, Night Hikes, Arts and Crafts, Sports, Nature Study, Group Challenge course, just to name a few. Thursday's activities in the past have included the Rocky Mountain Mennonite Camp Bull Run, a cabin tournament filled with crazy activities, or a camp mystery that campers attempt to solve. Join our enthusiastic staff in evening recreations, or outdoor worships, and see the true beauty of the surrounding Pike National Forrest.

6th & 7th Grade Resident

$160

For this week, campers will be given the opportunity to choose from a variety of activities including rock rappelling, soccer, Frisbee golf, field hockey, tie-dye, and bead making. Each day is filled with activities including morning hikes, Animal Survival (a simulation game where kids become an animal), worship at the gold mine or in the chapel, and an afternoon bible time called Quest. Camp pastors are chosen from area Mennonite churches and develop work with campers as they begin making decisions on their own faith development. Campers will also go on an overnight campout with their cabin mates and enjoy s'mores in the Rocky Mountain air. In years past we have even been known to have a snowball toss or two even this late in the summer.

4th & 5th Grade Resident

$160

During this week, we start off our time with an outdoor worship service at Inspiration Point. From there we can see the Pikes Peak Massif and many of the hike destinations for the week. Campers will again be given a choice of activities to fill the afternoon with. Some of these include kayaking, basketball, candle making, bead necklaces, friendship bracelets, foosball, and ping pong. A highlight of this week includes the Thursday boat race down Four Mile Creek. Campers are encouraged to construct a boat throughout the week of all natural material and then we float them down the creek. A good, yet wet time is had by all. To top things off, this week, and all weeks, end in a talent show where campers will show what talents they may have and camp staff with join in the festivities.
