The Cleft Lip and Palate Program at Children’s Hospital Colorado is excited to offer patients the opportunity to experience the mountains of Colorado and connect with other kids just like them at camp this summer.

New this year, patients with cleft lip and palate are invited to attend Roundup River Ranch, a longtime partner of Children’s Colorado that specifically serves kids with physical disabilities or serious medical conditions. All accepted campers will attend free of charge.  Patients with cleft lip and palate are invited to apply for session three (June 26 – July 1) of Roundup River Ranch’s summer schedule.

What makes Roundup River Ranch unique?

Roundup River Ranch provides children under the age of 17 the opportunity to spend quality time with others who share similar medical journeys. In the mountains of Gypsum, Colorado, campers participate in various outdoor activities, forge friendships, enhance their self-esteem and leave camp with more confidence and a lasting support network.

We encourage all campers to experience everything camp has to offer, including:

  • Archery
  • Boating
  • Fishing
  • Challenge courses
  • Arts and crafts
  • Games
  • Nature-based activities
  • Songs and dancing
  • Stargazing
  • And much more
