Once a camper, always a camper

BAR 717 Alumni

Welcome back to the Bar 717 Ranch! Whether you spent summers here decades ago or just recently, we’re thrilled to have you reconnect with the place, the people, and the memories that make this community so special. We hope you’ll join us for alumni events, visit the Ranch, or simply stay connected via our newsletter and blog.

SHARE YOUR STORY

We love hearing your Camp Trinity and Bar 717 Ranch stories—favorite memories, summers spent, and moments that stayed with you.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Our founder, Grover, often said, “This is your ranch.” It is in that spirit that many friends of the Bar 717 volunteer to help Camp flourish. Among many contributions, volunteers have hosted open houses, produced a beautiful CD of camp songs, served as resource staff, compiled the camp songbook, made gifts to the Campership Fund, and assisted with ranch projects at annual work weekends. To learn more about our Advisory Board or other volunteer opportunities, please contact us.

DONATE TO THE
CAMPERSHIP FUND

Our Campership Program relies on the generosity of individuals and families to make Camp Trinity accessible to every child who dreams of spending a session on the Ranch. Your tax-deductible donation directly funds life-changing camp experiences for deserving kids.
