I was lucky enough to be a camper and staff member at this camp for 7 years total. The amount of…read moreopportunity at SWC is unprecedented. There is so much to do that is out of the ordinary: hike up a mountain at 2am and watch a meteor shower, ride a horse for 5 days/50 miles, participate in Gymkhana, make rose-petal soap, and so so much more... It's hard to put into words how special this place is to me and so many others. You kind of just have to find out for yourself. Without this camp, I don't think I would have such a strong sense of self/wonder/imagination. It's the kind of place that fosters creativity, love for the outdoors and tight bonds with others. I met my best friends and made my favorite memories at SWC. I could talk about this haven all day!

I've gone to Camp Elim since I was a little kid and have gone to over 15 camps. I love it so much…read moreand will always recommend it to everyone. I first found my faith at this camp over 4 years ago and it's been growing my faith ever since. I've gone to both summer and winter camps, and I have to say that summer camps are definitely my favorite. Shout out to all my counselors: Alexis, Cheyanne, Emily, Sadie, and all the others I couldn't name, you guys mean the world to me. Also thanks to program who always makes our week awesome, especially Tobey, thanks for dealing with the early shut down while still making it fun. And finally to Mr and Mrs Faulkner for making Camp Elim God's own place for kids to find him, including me.

It was horrible. My son came home crying saying that the kids were mean, and judgmental. Those kids…read morewere cursing, and talking about VERY inappropriate topics that 12 yr olds shouldn't be discussing. My son also said that they were saying those things very loudly and the counselors could clearly hear it but wouldn't cut it out. We aren't coming back to this camp EVER. Do not recommend.

By far one of the best summer camps for kids! Sunny, Chris and all the other staff are just…read moreawesome. We missed not having summer camp this year but they still managed to engage the kids on line with camp like activites and day camps! We are grateful and lucky to have people like them care about the next generations! We will be a camp Shady Brook family for as long as we can!

I came here for a wedding this past weekend and I just want to give a shoutout to Chris and his…read morecrew on their great customer service! He was very attentive when we had some cabin issues and got things fixed right away. We loved being able to try out archery, riflery, and axe throwing mere hours before going to our friends wedding. The food that was served was great too! It really brought me back to when I was a kid. Thanks for the great experience!

This place is a hidden gem. At first glance it looks a bit run down but boy are you in for a treat!…read moreAdults are $5 for admission. My sister and I came in during an off time for the tour but they still accommodated us with smiling faces.

Beautiful Nature and raptor center only a short drive from Colorado Springs, in Pueblo west. I took…read morea field trip to the raptor center with my photography class and the volunteers were very accommodating and set up a time that was convenient for us to shoot without many bystanders. We were happy to give them donations to help care of these very lucky birds, whom they find around the area hurt, injured or abused by people. They have all sorts of raptors, from small owls (my personal fluffy favorite) to eagles, falcons, vultures and much more. We had a great day with two volunteers (husband and wife) who care for these animals greatly. You could tell they were so proud to show us their 'babies' and we shot photographs to our heart's content. The nature center is down the road from the raptor center and is a beautiful oasis on the river. Very nice gardens in the front, a nice deck area on the back. Really nice surroundings for bird watching. I am a fan! PS: These are the same folks who come to the Cheyenne Canon Hummingbird Festival in May...
