When boys finish the eighth grade, their needs and interests change. At La Junta, we address this maturity with our Advanced Camper (AC) Program’s advanced activity options. The ACs engage in a variety of new experiences to finish out their Camp La Junta camper years. They participate in advanced daily classes, special events like a horseback ranch trip, off-site canoe trip and survival trip along with working on the necessary leadership skills for becoming a Counselor in Training. Near the end of the term, they get an opportunity to assist with activity classes, participate in discussions with Program Directors and utilize their camp experiences to help with cabin groups.
To become a part of the Camp La Junta Advanced Camper program, simply complete a standard camper application. The program has limited enrollment and priority is given to previous campers; but new campers are welcome and encouraged. General enrollment is opened after September 1st of each year.
