How to Become a Camper

Eligibility

Youth between the ages of 14-18 are eligible to apply to camp. Twenty (20) campers are selected based on their application responses, including an essay on why they wish to attend camp. First-time camp applicants will receive preference.

Cost

2025 Camp Tuition is $700 and an additional $50 registration fee.

These fees cover all meals during camp, camp licensing fees, camping permits, and any gear rental campers may need. If the camper is 16 years or older, you will need to purchase a Colorado Fishing License in addition to these fees.

Scholarship Opportunities

Tuition aid is available and many of our Trout Unlimited chapters support CTU’s River Conservation and Fly Fishing Camp by offering tuition scholarships. Please indicate in your camp application if you need a camp scholarship and we will try to pair you with a scholarship opportunity.

How to Become a Camp Counselor

Colorado Trout Unlimited is also looking for persons interested in volunteering as a Full-time Camp Counselor or a Part-time Camp Counselor.

We are also looking for Junior Camp Counselors (ages 18 - 20). Full-time Camp Counselors select Junior Counselors based on the criteria below as well as all other applicable experiences, service work, and Trout Unlimited involvement.

Both the Camp Counselor and Junior Camp Counselor positions are incredibly rewarding volunteer positions. Please review all of our camp counselor requirements and qualifications before applying.


How Can You Help Support This Program?

Did you know that CTU’s River Conservation and Fly Fishing Camp is 100% volunteer lead and we gave over $12,000 in camp tuition scholarships last year. None of this would be possible without donations, dedicated volunteers, and support.
