What makes Roundup River Ranch so extraordinary?
We make campers with life-altering diagnoses feel like ordinary kids. Giggling, laughing, conspiring, arrow-shooting, horseback-riding, art-creating kids. We help campers and their families enjoy the gift of extraordinarily joyful moments, lasting friendships, newfound courage, and memories that remain long after the last s’more is devoured.
Connected by a powerful
commitment to childhood.
We are part of the SeriousFun Children’s Network, a global community of medical specialty camps founded by Paul Newman. He believed that kids with serious illnesses needed a place to “kick back and raise a little hell.” And we couldn’t agree more.

All aboard for Friendship Junction! 🫶 For November Camp Online, our campers from Camp Club and Teen Club combined for a month all about friendship. We celebrated camp traditions by creating friendship bracelets, Celebrate U Jars, and Hope Stars. They also wrote letters to friends and family, and answered questions like, “What does it mean to be a good friend?” and “If you were on an island and could pick one person to be with, who would it be?” 🏝️
As we wrap up this month’s club, we are so excited to start December’s Seasons of Giving! Join us for three consecutive days of festive family games to raise money for Roundup River Ranch. Register before December 1st on RoundupRiverRanch.CampManagement.com or with our link in bio 🔗💕

We are beyond thankful for our wonderful campers, volunteers, donors, partners, and staff. We are thankful that we get to do what we do, and thankful for the beautiful campsite where we get to do it. ⛰️

In this powerful year of belonging, we want to thank each and every person in our community for making it a place to belong. It’s because of you that camp continues to be a welcoming and warm place. We are honored to share a message of gratitude from a camper mom and volunteer who has fully embraced the power of camp this year.
“I just want to say, thank you. After dropping Audra off at camp, I became overwhelmed on my drive back home. At first, I thought it was because this will be the first time I have gone five days without speaking to her. But quickly realized it was an overwhelming feeling of gratitude and relief that I was experiencing.”
“Roundup River Ranch seemed like such a mystical place even up to the day that she was accepted - too good to be true. But then it became even more magical in reality. It wasn`t until the nurses spent time learning about Audra and when one of the nurses said, `she isn`t alone,` that I truly understood that this is a safe space - an entire camp full of other children just like her and grown-ups who care.”
“Thank you for making space for me to tell you about her. Thank you for making it safe to leave her in your care. Thank you for giving her a life-changing experience.” – Jenna
Thanks to your commitment, Roundup River Ranch is an incredibly special place for so many children with life-altering diagnoses and their families. Your support is the power behind the joy these campers feel at camp and the hope they hold for the future. So, from all of us here at camp, we wish you a wonderful and happy Thanksgiving!
A few team members from our amazing Admissions Team recently spent a couple days at the ACA Rocky Mountain Fall Conference in Florissant! 👏 Janelle & Kaisa enjoyed spending time with other ACA Camp teams, and growing together to continue making camp the best it can possibly be!
"Attending the ACA Rocky Mountain Conference was a joy! As someone who just started working in the camp field, it was important to see and meet other camp professionals from all kinds of camps in the Rocky Mountain region. I learned so much about the importance of caring for oneself before being able to take care of others, effectively communicating feedback to colleagues, and the ways in which we can support youth and each other by creating a sense of belonging. 10/10 would recommend!!!" -Kaisa ❤
During this week of gratitude, we want to also take a moment to celebrate #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth! We want to say a big thank you to the incredible family caregivers who take such dedicated care of their loved ones, including our campers. 🫶
We see the time, commitment, and unconditional love that is shared by the caregivers of our campers, and we so truly appreciate you! Your care inspires us every day and we are so thankful to play a small part in your family and camper’s journeys. Thank you for all that you do! 💛
