Camp Cris Dobbins at Mcneil Scout Ranch at Peaceful Valley

Let The Adventure Begin!

Nestled in the middle of the Black Forest, Camp Cris Dobbins offers sweeping views of Pikes Peak and the front range of the Rocky Mountains. Scouts will have a hard time choosing between the more than 50 merit badges offered here, and will love spending time on the water slides at the outdoor pool, dusting a clay at the Olympic shotgun range, channeling their inner movie star in our Movie Making program, or pretending to be Indiana Jones at our STEM lodge archaeology dig site. The convenience of meals from our dining hall and sleeping on raised wooden platforms in canvas wall tents will allow Scouts to focus on the only thing that matters: their next outdoor adventure!

Camperships (Scholarships to Camp)

The Greater Colorado Council, Boy Scouts of America, strongly believes that “no youth shall be denied a program experience because of lack of funds.” However, every effort must be made by applicants to “earn their own way.”

Campership Guidelines

  • Camperships are only available for the Greater Colorado Council outdoor programs.
  • Only registered youth Scout members of the Greater Colorado Council are granted camperships.
  • Full camperships are not awarded. Generally, only 25% of event cost will be awarded. (It’s highly recommended that the Scout participates in the Council provided fund raising events to earn their way to camp – Popcorn Sales and Camp Cards sales).
  • In order to apply for a Campership, Scouts must have a current reservation for one or more of the programs listed below. Camperships will be credited to that account. Information of the credit in the form of a receipt will be sent to Unit leadership.
  • As a requirement to receive a campership, each Scout must include with the request form a formal one page letter that will be given to the donors thanking them for making the Campership Program available.
  • In addition, the Scout will bring or send to the Council a note, postcard or picture of them and/or something that they enjoyed doing at camp. Our donors appreciate seeing what our Scouts enjoy at camp.
  • Please submit request at least 30 days prior to the event. Camperships will not be given after attending the activity.
  • Camperships are not transferable and non-refundable.

Campership Application

You must complete the form & submit a “Thank You” letter to be considered for a Campership. Camperships are available for any Youth attending camp. Please email “Thank You” letters to JoLynne Conrad
