Rock ‘n Summit

Rock-Climbing & Mountaineering Camp

This 12-day rock-climbing and mountaineering camp is a great way to experience God's creation, grow in your faith, and build solid and safe climbing skills. Each day starts and ends with God's Word as we learn to enjoy Him and explore His beautiful creation. The trip begins with 4 or 5 days of rock climbing where we will learn efficient climbing movement and solid technical skills. From here we will backpack into a pristine alpine lake and attempt to summit two semi-technical mountains by both snow and rock routes. A full-day float down the Arkansas River finishes out the trip. » Continue Reading «

1/2 Day Extender

Arkansas River » Bighorn Sheep Canyon

This Bighorn Sheep Canyon trip is our most popular rafting adventure! It launches from our site at Texas Creek and continues for an amazing 14 miles of Arkansas River whitewater. Because of the distance, most outfitters only offer this as a full day trip. However, we decided to offer it in a half-day format. We put on the river first thing in the morning and we usually get back to Texas Creek by 12:30 p.m. This trip is wonderful for people wanting to spend more time on the river and still be back by lunch. (Formerly called the 3/4 Day BSC). » Continue Reading «
