Traditional Camp (ages 8-15)

Good old-fashioned camp!

For a century, Camp Chief Ouray has been the adventurous playground for boys & girls from around the world.

Traditional Camp is designed to provide fun and growth through a series of exciting experiences in a beautiful mountain setting. Special attention is given to the development of positive human relations, leadership and character development.

The week at camp consists of a mix between cabin activities decided by the cabin, activities with kids of a similar age,  camp out, hiking, camp wide games, and a chance for campers to choose the activities that they want to be a part of (Freedom of Choice Activities or FOCA).
