SAY YES! TO ADVENTURE
Getting outdoors, staying active, connecting with friends, and sharing adventures in nature is just what kids are craving. The 2025 Mountain Roots Summer Camps are a collection of outdoor, trip-based adventure camps that explore rivers, forests, mountains, meadows, animal habitats, farms and other outstanding natural places around the Gunnison Valley. Small groups, enthusiastic outdoor educators, and fantastic destinations – right in our own backyard - make our summer camps a favorite of locals and visitors alike.
This summer, Mountain Roots will continue our adventure camp 2 days a week in Crested Butte and Gunnison. We are also offering a new garden-based camp in Gunnison 2 additional days a week, along with aftercare in Gunnison 4 days a week. All camps start the week of June 9th.

“
My first-grade son loved the mountain roots session. He learned about gardening and plants seeds, and he even brought some sunflower seeds home. Thank you for a fun and educational experience!”

My daughter Finley loved this experience. She mentioned all the things she tried (snap peas, mushrooms, chives…not sure what else). She often doesn’t love to try these things at home, but the garden experience helped her be a little more willing to do so. She also loved getting to take a plant home what she can care for and watch grow. Thanks for doing this!
