Volunteer Spotlight - Meet Lauren!

“Camp is one of my favorite things in the whole world,” exclaimed Lauren, a Roundup River Ranch volunteer extraordinaire. Lauren, who has volunteered for Roundup for six years, completed 12 camp sessions in 2020 and 14 so far in 2021 – more than any other volunteer! Since Lauren lives in Houston, she said that volunteering online now is actually much easier for her than traveling to Colorado. “I get so much out of camp,” Lauren said. “It resets me. The weeks and then the evening clubs really help to keep me connected. It’s been awesome!”

We hear these same sentiments from campers who are grateful for the year-round offerings. Lauren also used some of the same words that campers use to describe their experience with Roundup River Ranch; “magic, joy and laughter.” THANK YOU LAUREN for your time, talents, and treasures! #ThankfulTuesday

Our A Grateful Harvest event was an incredible success! On Saturday, August 14, 2021, more than 330 supporters joined Roundup River Ranch by participating in A Grateful Harvest. We are astonished and proud to share that YOU, our generous network of amazing friends, family, and camp community raised…over $1.25 million! (and counting).

We can’t express how much it meant to celebrate with you all. Many thanks to all our guests, supporters, volunteers, and campers and their families that attended at Camp or Splendido at The Chateau, or joined us virtually during the live stream.

Special thanks to our event co-chairs Donna Martin and Linda Hendricks, along with an incredible event committee, our community sponsors, partners, and amazing local chefs – Chef Riley Romanin of Hooked Sushi - Beaver Creek, Co who prepared guests cuisine at camp; and from Chef Brian Akerman of Splendido at The Chateau who ALL made this event possible. We sincerely appreciate all of you. #grateful 🙏
