“Thank you so much for enlivening my daughter’s life, as you always do. Each year she comes back from the Bar 717 happy, healthy, and full of confidence!”

— Becky, parent

“Camp means the world to me! My childhood escape has provided with me with lifelong friends and will forever hold a place in my heart :)”

— Emma, camper

“From start (emails to Laura) to finish (at home after camp hearing about all of his amazing experiences), it will go down as one of my son’s favorite childhood memories, I am sure. Just like it was for me in 1979.”

— T.D., parent

“Our children derive immense joy from their Bar 717 summers … and with that joy comes an increased sense of confidence, independence, and empathy. The environment is not one of “forced” activity, but rather of chosen community and adventure. Fortunate indeed are these campers!”

— J.L., parent

“My favorite thing about camp is making friends from all over the world!!!”

— Piper, camper

“Summer at Camp Trinity at the Bar 717 Ranch is what summer should be. Slow and easy, fun and silly. A place of wild beauty where kids can be themselves, make new friends, and enjoy a sense of discovery. The staff deeply respect and honor each camper’s individuality, creativity, and ideas they bring to camp. We are forever grateful for Camp Trinity.”

— S.L., parent

“Camp is my kids’ happy place. They have been going for almost ten years. They have so much fun, and they get a chance to try new things and test their limits in a supportive environment. Plus it is a true outdoor experience in a thoroughly beautiful setting. When are you opening a year-round school?”

— R.F., parent
