Youth Weeks

Activities

Why spend the summer in the usual ho-hum way, doing the usual ho-hum things?
Instead of the simulator, enjoy the actual thrill of riding a mountain bike on backwoods trails through the Rocky Mountains. Instead of just reading the magazine, put on the climbing shoes for yourself. Instead of seeing a movie, delve for yourself into the black unknown of a cave.

Ravencrest Chalet provides trained staff and necessary equipment for both an enjoyable and a safe time for all involved in the many outdoor activities available.

This is a true Rocky Mountain experience. We will bicycle into the Roosevelt National Forest which is virtually the back yard of the Chalet. The uphill's are exerting and the downhill's are exhilarating.

This high-wire adventure course heightens awareness of the need to "really" trust. A series of connected elements offers a challenge as you attempt to complete the entire circuit.

Snow Sliding

and much more...!

Next
One of our favorite activities is to go above the tree line to 12,000 feet and slide down a large snowfield. The views are incredible, the air is thin and the snow is fast and wet.
Next
Other activities include indoor and outdoor volleyball and basketball, tennis, and over 50 acres of backwoods trails.
