The mission of Cheley Camps “We build the lasting character and resiliency of young people, creating unique life experiences in a challenging and nurturing natural environment.” “Great things happen when youth and mountains meet.”
Since 1921, thousands of young people from every state and more than a twenty countries have come to Cheley Colorado Camps. The experience can change you. You become more independent and self-reliant. You face new challenges and form new relationships. You acquire confidence and initiate the lifelong process of self-discovery. The judgments and expectations that you bring from home start to drop away. Spend your summer in the Rocky Mountains hiking, backpacking, horseback riding, mountain biking, technical climbing, rafting, or participating in archery, riflery, sports crafts, and much more.
