CHARTER TRIPS
You are invited to join Rainbow Trail Lutheran Camp for an amazing backpacking adventure in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of Colorado! We will provide you and your group with a Christ-centered adventure that will challenge you both physically and spiritually. Jordan, a camper from Colorado put it this way, I learned “how to be pushed past my comfort zone and allow others to carry me at times as well as giving God control.”
Charters include at least two nights in base camp (Sunday and Friday) at Eagle Peak Lodge and 2-4 four nights out in the wilderness of the Sangres. Rainbow Trail provides backpacks, tents, food, first aid kits, stoves, insurance, and all trail permits. Gear outfitting and orientation precedes all trips. Detailed information, including what to bring, is supplied as part of a charter booking.
Compass Points guides are mature, experienced counselors with deep and active faith in Jesus Christ. Their passion for youth, faith, and the outdoors will amaze and inspire you! Our goal is to provide your group with a thrilling week of Christian adventure designed with your needs in mind! Madi, a camper from Texas said, the guides were, “probs some of the coolest people I’ve ever met! They were bright and hilarious, way beyond what I expected! They always did what was best for us while still letting us take risks and push ourselves.”
WHAT CAMPERS ARE SAYING
- I learned that you will never know your limits unless you push yourself. – Carolyn, TX

- The pre-trip materials prepared me for the trip. I had all the clothes I needed, but you were right: I could have done more physical preparation. — Seth, NE

- All the food was great, but there was more than our group could eat. — Anonymous
- Our campsite was the perfect combo of trees and open-ness, and next to a beautifual lake and water fall. The hills were crazy big and long, but made the trip better in the long run. — Sabrina, CO
- They (the guides) were awesome and weird! and super fun!! — Jared, TX
