Over this past year, we leaned on the support of our entire camp community to stay resilient and look onward together. Together, we explored new ways to connect with our campers. We learned that camp is about more than the Challenge Course, Boating, Zipline, No-Hands Spaghetti Dinners, and the camp dances. Camp is wherever you want to discover newfound friends, unexpected courage, and pure childhood joy.
As we enter 2021, we wanted to take an opportunity to provide you with a few updates. Our number one priority is to ensure the health and safety of our campers, volunteers, and staff while providing engaging, fun, and rewarding camper experiences for children with serious illnesses and their families. At this time, our current 2021 camp program schedule does not include any in-person camp programs. We are all anxiously awaiting the time when campers can return to our campsite, and we know that we must be thoughtful in the timing and planning required in order for that to happen.
We know that kids need camp, connection, and community – now, more than ever. Camp Online and Joy, Delivered programs will continue to be offered year-round – free of charge. Each quarter expect to see new online program offerings and strategies to engage campers, and further develop their social and emotional skills.

Roundup River Ranch continues to meet with public officials and authorities to work towards resuming on-site programming and bringing campers back to our physical site. We’re creating work groups to update our policies and procedures to support a timely and responsible opening when that time comes.
Thank you for your understanding and patience. We know that our camp community is resilient, and together we will be able to continue to provide life-changing camp experiences in new ways in 2021. Wherever you are, whenever you need the magic of camp, Roundup River Ranch will MEET YOU THERE.
