Who We Are

At Go West Camps , we believe kids grow best when they move, explore, and connect with the world and people around them. Each day brings new adventures, from biking and paddle boarding to gardening to creative projects, all designed to help campers grow in confidence, develop independence, and form meaningful relationships. Our community is rooted in curiosity and inclusivity and fosters a genuine sense of belonging with staff who lead enthusiastically and with compassion. At camp, we prioritize being present and unplugged, encouraging both campers and counselors to engage fully with each moment and the world around them.

Working at Go West means gaining real-world experience in youth development and outdoor leadership while building skills that transfer far beyond camp.

It's a summer of growth, adventure, and community set against the stunning backdrop of the Rocky Mountains.
