Since 1998 we've been providing unique camp experiences ranging from one-day events to week-long camps. Our mission is simple: share the gospel and strengthen believers. Over the years, many campers have made life-changing decisions at Trail Ridge—and we're excited about what's still to come. We invite you to take a look through the links below to see what’s coming up! From camps and retreats to volunteer opportunities and ways to support the ministry, there’s always something happening up on the ridge. Whether you're planning your first visit or looking to stay connected, you'll find opportunities to grow, serve, and get involved.

Summer Camp 2025
Our theme for this summer is "Under Construction" with 1 Corinthians 3:9 as our key verse. When you visit camp, you'll notice that our property is actually under construction! We're very excited for the opportunities that a new Chapel and office building will provide for our ministry. Just like the new building going up, God is building and refining each of us—brick by brick, day by day, into something greater for His glory. This summer our focus will be on growth, transformation, and the understanding that each of us is a work in progress, continually shaped by God's hands.

Chapel-Lodge Project
For several years, our staff has been praying for wisdom as we consider ministry growth. Over these last few months we've been working with an architect on building plans, and we're excited to announce the first construction project of this nature on Trail Ridge property in over 20 years! God has continued to work in the hearts of people and provide for our present needs. This multi-functional building will meet needs that our current buildings are no longer able to accommodate, while also laying the groundwork for future growth and adaptability.

Support Trail Ridge!
The ongoing ministry at Trail Ridge depends on the generous support of people just like you! You can help by donating to our General Fund or contributing to our Camp Scholarship Program, and we also accept material donations like vehicles, furniture, and other useful items that can be put to work here on the grounds.

Cherith Retreats
When the Prophet, Elijah, was facing danger and difficult circumstances, God sent him "camping" at the Brook Cherith. There, God provided for Elijah's physical needs and gave him rest. After this incredible experience of being given water during a drought and having food delivered by ravens, Elijah was ready for the next step in his ministry.

Give to Camp
Trail Ridge Camp is furthered by the generous support of many towards our ministry. Financial gifts to the "General Fund" help with the everyday needs of camp. We also know that every family has different abilities and resources to pay for camp which is why we offer voluntary tiered pricing for our summer youth camps.
