THE POWER OF PURE
CHILDHOOD JOY
Camp programs have the extraordinary power to make kids with life-altering diagnoses feel like ordinary kids.
LIFE-CHANGING JOY FOR KIDS
WITH LIFE-ALTERING DIAGNOSES.
The fortitude of fun.
The strength of silliness.
The boldness that
comes from belonging.
When a child with a life-altering diagnosis experiences camp, it lights a fire inside them and they discover they have the power to take on life in bold, joyful new ways. It ignites an “I can do it” belief, as they discover that they are strong and resilient. And, it fuels entire families with inspiration and hope.
THE POWER OF
CONNECTION
Our volunteers fuel fun and friendships and get a powerful amount of love and inspiration in return.
THE POWER OF GENEROSITY
Your donation not only makes all of our camp experiences possible, it makes them FREE to every camper.

Happy Birthday, Paul Newman! 🎉 Today would have been Paul Newman`s 101st birthday, which is why we want to remember his life and achievements. We celebrate his passion and vision for providing a special place for children with life-altering medical diagnoses to "raise a little hell" - at no cost to the children or their families. 💛 This is the same mission that inspires and motivates our work today. Now, Roundup River Ranch is still carrying out Paul`s vision, along with our sister camps as part of the @seriousfun_camps network. Happy 101st birthday, Paul! You`ve changed countless lives and given hope to so many families! 🫶

We had a wonderful time at Vail Valley Partnership’s first After Hours Mixer of 2026! 🤩🌮 The night was full of delicious bite-sized tacos and Mexican fare, coupled with cocktails and great conversations with other members of the chamber. Roundup River Ranch was honored to be the featured nonprofit of the night, providing an info booth and a little glimpse into our free, medically-supported programming within the community.
Thank you to @vailvalleypartnership for supporting our work, and thank you to @trails.end.vail for hosting such a fantastic night! 💞
