History and Mission

Camp Redcloud was raised up by God in 1981 to be a Christian camp that would minister year-round to the kids of Western Colorado and beyond. Our mission is to glorify God by making disciples of Jesus Christ who will in turn grow and serve in their local churches.

Camp Redcloud started its outreach with meager facilities that sorely needed renovation and a small but enthusiastic staff. In 1991, our youth camp property was purchased through God’s amazing provision. Then in 2001, God provided Redcloud Ranch, and the family camp ministry was launched! In the summer we operate the six simultaneous programs which are described in this catalog. During the school-year we offer an outdoor education program, weekend retreats, winter backcountry trips and more.

Our Vision:

“To join God in making His Name famous - in Lake City, Colorado, the USA and the world.”

Our Mission:

“To develop Christ-like character through challenge, empowering us to transform our world for a lifetime of true adventure.”
