Embark on a weeklong overnight adventure exploring Colorado’s great outdoors! Campers will stay in dorms nestled across the Gunnsion River, spending their days adventuring through Colorado’s stunning backcountry. The dorms are located at Camp Gunnison, just north of Gunnison, and the facility includes a full-service dining hall, bathrooms and showers, and all the essentials for a comfortable “home away from home.” From this scenic basecamp, campers will explore Colorado’s natural landscapes, build outdoor and teamwork skills, and experience the thrill of adventure while connecting with nature and new friends. Camp Adventures are Better with Friends! For a limited time, groups of 3 or more receive 20% off a week of Junior Mountaineers Expedition Camp.
