Camp La Junta
2008 Father/Son Weekends

Plans are taking shape for our 2008 Camp La Junta Father/Son and Family weekends.
We won't begin to officially accept applications until the new year.  Applications must be accompanied (or closely followed) by complete payment. All sessions will likely filled by Spring Break, but due to the nature of work schedules, numerous families are usually accepted off the waiting list at the last moment.

Waiting Lists:  when they begin to occur, we encourage you to complete an application and join a waiting list.  It is not uncommon to have cancellations up until the week prior to F/S weekend because of sports and business trips.  If you are flexible we can respond to a cancellation as late as the night before!

2008 Father/Son Information

Our 81st Season has begun! And, of course, it wouldn't be complete without our "infamous" weekends for campers, non-campers, alumni-campers, shouldabeen-campers and gunnabe-campers -- for an exciting mini-camp experience. Folks still NEW to camping will get a firsthand try at camp activities, meet folks behind the scenes and get a feel for our approach to kids and camping. Experienced La Junta folks will get a chance to enjoy La Junta and the outdoors in a relaxed, family atmosphere. Kids bring their own "counselors," so it's the ultimate camp weekend for everyone!

It's a "Guy Thing:" We'd like to keep things limited to our traditionally male population. However, we will not exclude any moms or sisters who want to "rough it" with the guys for a weekend. Ladies should remember our facilities will remain rustic and group oriented, but we'll do our best to make you feel "at home."

PROGRAM: Father/son weekends traditionally function with a resort style atmosphere, with Dad's scheduling, supervising and lifeguarding their own boys. The only firmly scheduled events each day will be meals. Optional activities will include riflery, archery, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, tennis, athletics, hiking and horseback. Supervision is provided for Riflery, Archery and Riding, and families choose when they will try those and the other activities...the schedule is yours to create. The atmosphere is designed such that a father and son(s) spend the weekend together, creating their own entertainment while getting to know La Junta and it's personnel a little better. * You will need to schedule riding (for boys only), riflery and archery time when you get here, so that everyone will have a turn at these La Junta Staff-supervised activities. Commemorative T-Shirts will be given to everyone! Arrive anytime Friday after dinner or Saturday, but please let us know your arrival plans on the form below.

SUPERVISION: At all times throughout the weekend, adults will be fully responsible for the supervision and safety of the children which they bring.  This includes hiking the hill with them, lifeguarding and enforcing life jacket requirements in canoes.

MEALS: Five meals, starting with Saturday's hearty breakfast and finishing with a light Sunday, lunch will be served. Snacks and a campfire will be available on Friday evening for those who arrive before bedtime.

LODGING: We will assign you and at least 2 other families to a cabin (generally by boy's age), but will consider your special requests for cabinmates -- just give us a call or indicate a preference on your registration form.

Cost:  $200.00 per pair of people plus $25.00 for each additional boy in your group. In typical La Junta fashion, fees are all inclusive. Sorry, we can't make partial allowances or prorations.

Please download an application from the link below, or as always, don't hesitate to contact us directly and we'll mail you set of information and an application.  Our spots fill quickly, so it is best to fax the completed application to 830/238-4888 and then mail the original with your payment.  Because of the automated nature of our online payment system, we cannot accept credit card payment unless your son is also registered for camp.  You can contact us at:
