    I was so very fortunate and lucky enough to have been able to attended super camp here throughout…read moregrade school, and to this day I tell people that it changed my life!!! It's worth the hike up for your kids to have experiences you won't be able to find anywhere else in the world with life long core memories that build good character. I HIGHLY recommend enrolling your kids here even if it's for one week day camp, or a focus group. I also LOVE that it's been operating for over 70 years by the same family running it today. You won't find anywhere else that has not only a turn key, organized, professional establishment but that's run by heart, soul, love for the outdoors, community, respect for one another, and tradition. It's also a great place to have your wedding or any special event!!

    Our kids have been going to camp here for the past few years. It's hands down their favorite part…read moreof the summer. They get to ride horses, mountain board, do archery, swim, hike and more. The owners Lynn and Mike are incredibly easy to work with. All the staff are well trained and very attentive to the children and help stretch their comfort zone in fun challenging activities. This year camp was cancelled due to COVID-19. As an alternative, CMR has been hosting single family activities to ensure social distancing. We took the opportunity to do this and we had a blast. As parents, we really didn't know much about how the kids spent their time on the ranch. Spending time up there made me feel like a kid again. The staff made the whole experience fun and easy. The measures that CMR are taking to reduce exposure to the virus are as good as any place I've seen. They sanitize every piece of equipment and touch point between each family and keep the flushies sparkling. Oh and hundreds of acres to spread out the guests. After several months of quarantine and more to come, CMR's 2020 family program was much needed. It's also worth mentioning that various special needs grants and scholarships will cover the family program.

    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. The workers/volunteers are chock full of knowledge and you know they really care about the birds. An hour went by super quickly! 10/10 would recommend!

    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...
