JMC Lost Wonder Hut Trip

Embark on a weeklong overnight adventure exploring Colorado’s great outdoors! Campers will stay at the Lost Wonder Hut, a beautiful backcountry lodge in the Sawatch mountains of Colorado, located between Gunnison and Salida and that offers a comfortable “home away from home” with a full kitchen, toilet facilities, and cozy beds with mattresses. 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.
