Fun for the whole family!

WELCOME TO FAMILY CAMP

Spend your days horseback riding, pig slopping, egg gathering, taffy pulling, square dancing, and relaxing by the river—while we take care of the organizing, cooking, and cleaning!

Family Camp is a week-long adventure where families connect, play, and relax together on a stunning mountain ranch, free from distractions and full of unforgettable experiences.

ACTIVITIES

Take a trail ride with your family, press apples into cider, weld in the metal shop, or simply unwind—Family Camp is full of summer camp fun for all ages! Our experienced counselors lead morning activities, including adventures designed just for kids ages 2–7, so you can jump in or explore at your own pace.

*Please note: Our backpacking activity is not available during Family Camp due to the one week schedule. Other activity availability may vary due to staffing.

  • Which activities will be available during Family Camp?
    We strive to offer many of the beloved camp activities you know and love during Family Camp. While Backpacking isn’t available due to the shorter schedule, you can still enjoy a wide range of classic Camp Trinity favorites.

  • Will I have cell service or internet access at Family Camp?
    Living and camping on a remote mountain ranch means enjoying forests, streams, blue skies, and bright sunshine—but no cell service or guest Wi-Fi. We invite you to fully disconnect and embrace a week unplugged during Family Camp. If necessary, our office phone and computers can be made available for urgent needs.

  • How does childcare work?
    Childcare is available daily for children ages 2-7 during Family Camp. Led by caring counselors, your little ones will enjoy fun activities while you relax or enjoy classic camp fun. We offer childcare during morning program time and during breakfast and dinner, so you can enjoy your meal! Looking for extra help? Some of our staff are happy to offer childcare outside of scheduled times—just ask, and we’ll help connect you!

  • Pure Joy

    "The Bar 717 Ranch experience is foundational for many children (and adults!) I have known. It provides a community to work and play among, and for many is the first chance to just be themselves and belong and contribute to an ongoing project where humans and nature meet in balance. Plus of course there's the pure joy of swimming in the river, creating art, making caramel from the goat milk, and seeing the shooting stars all night long. Can't beat it."
