Junior Camp

Junior Camp is an overnight program designed for young adventurers. As campers arrive on a Monday evening, they will meet their summer staff leaders, divide into cabin groups, and start learning the names of their cabin mates. The rest of the week will be spent floating down the river, navigating obstacles in the aerial adventure park, climbing rock walls, and more.

This is a great experience to build lasting friendships and have fun outside!

Lodging

Campers will be divided into groups of 7-8 with 2 leaders. This group will complete all activities and share meal together.

Meals

All three meals are prepared in our commercial kitchen and served inside the Lodge. The kitchen staff are careful to include a variety of foods, including gluten-free and dairy-free options. There is also a camp store where your camper can purchase snacks and beverages.

Adventures

All the adventures are led by trained staff, with safety, team dynamics, and fun in mind! Rock climbing, ropes course, rafting, hiking, and stand up paddle boarding are some of the options. Each cabin group will receive a schedule of adventures for the week, and they will complete them together.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you can’t find the answer you’re looking for, feel free to reach out! We're here to help and will get back to you as soon as we can.

Does the food taste good?

From all the compliments we receive about our Food Service, we can confidently say the food tastes great!

When will I know if I have been approved for a camper scholarship?

We will begin processing camper scholarship applications in January, for that same year, and will review them monthly prior to summer. All registrations require a 25% non-refundable deposit, in order to secure space, and should be paid upon registration.

Do I need to have outdoor experience?

No! Our staff aims to make every adventure great, regardless of age or experience level.

What do I need to pack?

Great question. Packing lists vary by the time of year and corresponding adventures. Please contact us for the right list.

Can you accommodate for food allergies?

Camp Bighorn offers gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegetarian alternatives for guests who disclose dietary restrictions during registration. While we take careful precautions in preparing these meals, we cannot guarantee that any item is completely free from allergen cross-contamination. Guests with celiac disease or severe allergies may wish to bring supplemental food; limited refrigerator space will be available for storage. (Please note: unfortunately, we are unable to reduce registration fees.) Guests with a history of anaphylactic reactions must also disclose this information during registration so that Camp Bighorn can make appropriate accommodations.If you have additional questions, please contact our office.
