Camp Elliott Barker

Girl Scouts of New Mexico Trails Summer Camp is a great place for every girl to discover the wonders of the outdoors and the adventures that await. From archery and water sports such as canoeing and white water rafting, to rock climbing and horseback riding, we have just the camp program for you! Cook over a campfire, make crafts, and explore the beautiful New Mexico forests - all in keeping with Girl Scout traditions of learning new skills, singing new songs, earning badges and making awesome new friends. Plus, girls say camping is their most memorable outdoor experience in Girl Scouts. After all, It’s a Beautiful Day to Go Outside! Not a Girl Scout, no problem, all girls are welcome! Camp Elliott Barker: a High Adventure Camp Angel Fire, New Mexico On the eastern slopes of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, in Angel Fire, our 536-acre camp sits in the midst of pristine forest and meadows bordering the Carson National Forest. Camp Barker is a high adventure camp that offers a high and low ropes course, archery, horse programming, multi-night backpacking, and traditional camp activities as well as high adventure programming with canoeing, rock climbing, and whitewater rafting. Camp Elliott Barker has heated cabins, a modern dining hall, miles of trails, and a primitive outpost. Housing Units include platform tents and cabins with cots or bunk beds with mattresses. Each unit has campfire circles and wash areas with sinks and latrines. Camp Elliott Barker celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2013. A brand new shower and bathroom facility was installed in the Aspen Glen cabin unit in 2017. Meals are served family style in Hoffman Hall. Girls will visit the Wishing Chair, explore the newly revitalized Blackbird Pond, do arts & crafts, visit our on-site observatory, and hike through Aspen Grove. Troops and families can also experience the adventure by attending one of our weekend camps with their girls or by renting the camp to have their own camp adventure.
