A place to be yourself

“My girls look forward to their time at camp all year long, and are begging to go for 2 sessions next year. They have strong bonds with their camp friends, and the increase in their independence and happiness is noticeable. There is something about Bar 717 that makes them even better versions of themselves! It’s a special and beautiful place to be yourself.”
— J.P, parent
From a happy camper

“Camp taught me the value of further connecting with myself, my surroundings, and the people around me. “
— Melissa, camper
Friends, activities, nature

“Bar 717 Camp is exactly what we were hoping for. An experience for our daughter to make friends, try new activities, build relationships with others, enjoy nature, feel a sense of community and pride and have fun! This is the camp I wish I had when I was younger. We’re so glad our daughter was able to experience it and we hope she does again and again.”
— K.P., parent
love for nature

“Our child has had two fantastic summer camp experiences at Bar 717 Ranch! She has had amazing adventures, learned independence, found even more love for nature, and made lifelong friends. Camp gives her the summer experience we had always hoped we’d find: device-free, good “wild” fun out in nature. She literally counts down the days until she gets to go back.”
— K.M., parent
transformational

“The four weeks our son spends at Bar 717 are a highlight of his year, an opportunity to live outdoors away from technology and transformational on his journey to becoming his best self. We are profoundly grateful for his camp experiences.”
— E.J., parent
Increased confidence

“Our daughter absolutely loves this camp. She is reserved and not the most confident tween. She always comes back from Bar 717 so happy and with increased confidence.”
— C.A., parent
A safe haven, A happy place

“My son was going through a rough time with a divorce and selling the house. For years this camp has been a safe haven, and this year was no different. He came back over-bubbling with joy, experiences, stories about his new friends, amazing outdoor adventures, … he is full of self-confidence, to take things as they come and be positive about change and challenges. This is his happy place.”
— T.C., parent
