Adventurers Excursion Session 2 (7/8-7/12)
Description
NEW THIS SUMMER! We are offering a week long Adventurers Excursion add on. This will be replacing the one night overnight experience.

Through parent and camper feedback, we have decided to give campers the option for overnight programming. This add on will include a week long overnight camping experience in the Arkansas River Valley between Salida and Buena Vista.

A week away from home will give campers the opportunity to live collectively in a community, building upon the relationships they create during their first 2 weeks of day camp and gain a sense of independence. Campers will learn responsibility through campsite management, cooking, and cleaning. This opportunity will allow campers to disconnect from technology and the pressures of social media.

The week long excursion will be action packed full of the best outdoor activities Colorado has to offer. In addition to the overnight camping experience, activities currently include: rafting, kayaking, horseback riding, biking and a trip to the hot springs. Find a sample schedule on our website:

This add on option will take the place of campers 3rd week of day camp programming. Space will be limited. Trips are limited to 2 gender based groups of 12.

The additional cost for this week long overnight excursion is $750.

The overnight add on cost is comparable to other Colorado overnight camp experiences but with these advantages:

In the Go West experience, campers will have the opportunity to get to know others in their group and the staff working with them in their 2 weeks of day camp programming prior to the overnight excursion. As a camp family you also have the opportunity to get to know and trust the staff leading the excursion prior to it taking place.

The longer term overnight camp experience will allow campers to build upon the skills and foundation day camp programming has created, including; independence and self direction, productivity and accountability, leadership and responsibility, community and collaboration. The 3 weeks will allow for campers to build strong interpersonal skills and meaningful relationships.

The Adventurers Excursion will be single gender programming and camping, allowing campers to have a level of comfort when challenging themselves in activities and other experiences that push them outside of their comfort zone. Groups will come together a couple times throughout the week for fun and socialization.

All meals and high quality gear is provided.

Go West excursions will be led by our Trip and Travel Program Director and a team of Trip and Travel Leaders who have additional certifications in outdoor recreation/education, wilderness first aid and our program areas of focus. They will also be supported by Go West's Owner and Senior Director.

We are partnering with trusted Arkansas Valley outfitters for river activities and horseback riding.

Please reach out with any questions you may have. We are currently working on video content for frequently asked questions and organizing a parent orientation in the spring.
