For kids with life-altering diagnoses, camp is incredibly, undeniably, breathtakingly POWERFUL.
At Roundup River Ranch, we provide free, medically-supported camp experiences and intentional programming that help children and families discover the power within themselves. Through Summer Camp, Family Camp, outreach programs, and year-round experiences, campers embrace joy, create connection, foster independence, and build hope.
What makes camp so extraordinary is that it helps kids feel like ordinary kids. Giggling, laughing, art-making, horseback-riding, zip-lining, friendship-building kids. Here, children aren't defined by their diagnosis. They're encouraged to try new things, discover their strengths, and realize they're capable of more than they ever imagined.
Camp ignites confidence, fuels resilience, strengthens families, and creates lifelong connections. It replaces "I can't" with "I found a way". It turns jitters into joy, friendships into support systems, and moments of fun into lasting hope. That's The Power of Camp.
Every program at Roundup River Ranch is offered completely free of charge. No camper or family ever pays a penny. Your Colorado Gives Day support ensures children with life-altering diagnoses can experience the joy, belonging, confidence, and hope that camp makes possible.
“I think it’s important for kids to come to camp because they can feel open about their sickness and not have to worry about being left out. You have somebody just like yourself who can help you through the sad moments, even though they may be going through the same thing.” - Dominique, Camper
“The fact that camp is free is a huge blessing. We have insurance, but Matthew’s care costs us thousands of dollars each year. We would really not be able to do something like this if it were not free.” - Mark, Camper Dad
"When I first decided to get involved with Roundup River Ranch, I was really hoping I could make a difference in the lives of these kids. Little did I know - they would change my lives in ways I cannot even describe." - Camila, Volunteer
Our Mission
Roundup River Ranch offers children with life-altering diagnoses, and their families, opportunities to embrace joy, create connection, foster independence, and build hope through free, medically-supported camp programs.
Our Vision
Where illness and medical complexities take a backseat to ordinary and extraordinary childhood experiences.
The Power of Camp changes lives.
At Roundup River Ranch, campers discover they are stronger than they knew, braver than they imagined, and surrounded by a community that understands them. Through intentional programming, meaningful friendships, and unforgettable experiences, children gain confidence, independence, connection, and hope that extends far beyond camp.
What makes that possible is our unique combination of extraordinary medical care and pure childhood joy. Healthcare professionals, trained staff, and dedicated volunteers provide comprehensive medical, physical, and emotional support so campers can focus on being kids. Whether they're climbing a rock wall, paddling a canoe, creating art, or making a new friend, campers are empowered to participate fully and safely.
Most importantly, camp is always free for every child and family we serve. We rely on the generosity of donors, foundations, corporations, and community members to make these life-changing experiences possible. Your support helps ensure more children and families can discover the confidence, connection, joy, and hope found through The Power of Camp.
