Christmas Camp December 21–27, 2025

Join your A/U Ranches family for a Christmas to remember

You are warmly invited to a uniquely traditional Christmas celebration at the A/U Ranches. Celebrate with family or unite with friends – we’ll take care of everything, allowing you time to cherish the spirit of the holiday in a loving, inclusive atmosphere. Christmas in the Rockies doesn’t get any better than this!

Christmas Camp activities

During the week, you’ll choose from a variety of winter activities, including downhill and cross-country skiing, ice skating, broom hockey, horseback riding, sledding, and snowshoeing. We offer daily excursions to Colorado’s favorite ski areas, and there’s also plenty of time to relax in the lodge with friends, sit and read, make a Christmas craft, and savor a warm fire with a cup of hot chocolate. And of course Christmas in the mountains wouldn’t be complete without a search for the perfect Christmas tree and cookie decorating. Kids ages 0-9 can also join Kids’ Camp, where they’ll enjoy age-appropriate winter adventures when their older family members are participating in more advanced activities.

In the evenings, guests come together for our annual gingerbread house competition, caroling, a testimony meeting, singing hymns, and other joyful and festive activities.

Volunteer at Christmas Camp

Bless camp as a Christmas Camp volunteer

We’d love for you to help us staff Christmas Camp this winter as a volunteer. In this unique role, you’ll be part of bringing out the true spirit of Christmas through joyful service to camp and Christmas Camp guests. Each volunteer serves for half of the program time and gets to participate as a guest (on us!) the other half, with everyone supporting dinners and evening programs.

Volunteer schedule for Christmas Camp 2025

December 17–19: Arrive before dinner on the 17th and help us prepare for the program. We’ll shovel snow, prepare sled runs and the ice skating rink, make beds, prepare for program activities, and transform the lodge into a mountain Christmas getaway.
 
December 20: Enjoy time off to ski, relax, or enjoy winter in the mountains.
 
December 21–26: Christmas Camp guests arrive on the 21st! During your volunteer days, you'll serve in a variety of ways: leading activities like cross country skiing and snowshoeing, inspiring creativity during arts and crafts, shepherding the little ones during Kids’ Camp, clearing dishes, and keeping the lodge tidy and welcoming, among other tasks.
