Thank you for your interest in Father/Teen Adventure at Spring Canyon! We expect God to use the mountains and every individual involved in Father/Teen Adventure to challenge those who participate to a deeper and more certain faith in Jesus Christ!

We recommend that you arrive at camp for check-in between 1300 and 1600 on your arrival day to familiarize yourself with camp. Dinner at 1730 will be your first activity.

• You are responsible for arranging your own transportation to Spring Canyon . If you are traveling by air, you may request a ride to/from the Denver airport provided by Spring Canyon for $20/person, each way . If you are interested in this service, please contact Spring Canyon at least 3 weeks prior to your session. Spring Canyon does NOT provide this service to/from the Colorado Springs airport.

• If you have requested a pickup from the Denver airport by Spring Canyon , please schedule a flight arrival no later than 1230 on the day that your session begins. We are located 3 hours away from the airport so we can only make one trip for each session. If you arrive early in the morning, be prepared to wait until other participants arrive.
  
  
• If you need transportation to the Denver airport for your return flight, please do NOT schedule your departure before 1400 hours on the last day of your session to allow adequate travel time from camp.
  
  
• Approximately 2 weeks prior to your session, you will receive an e-mail with final logistics information (confirming transportation times, pick-up locations, etc.). This e-mail will be sent to the primary and alternate e-mail you provided in the registration. Please keep an eye out for this message as it will contain important information about making sure you get to camp!
  
  
• Your activities during FTA will require the proper gear for you to fully enjoy your experience. Please use the packing list as a checklist to ensure that you bring all of the required items. Some items on the list can be provided by camp or are optional, and are noted as such.
  
  
• While at Spring Canyon, you will stay at Camp Buxton in 10-person framed tents. The tents are each equipped with 5 sets of bunk beds and have a gravel pad floor. Showers and restrooms are available in a nearby bathhouse. Limited laundry facilities are available at Camp Buxton .
  
  
• Bring the items you need but space in the tents is limited. On the overnight trip, you will pack your gear in a backpack or travel bag, but will take motorized transportation to the camping site. Once there, you will have opportunities to hike in the surrounding area.
  
  
  
• The rental fee for one ATV is included in the program cost (1 driver, 1 rider on the same ATV). If the father would like the teen to drive a separate ATV, a second vehicle may be rented from the outfitter at an additional cost of approximately $65.00 (fees subject to change).  The fee for an additional teen ($450) includes a separate ATV rental if the teen meets the driver requirements. State law requires that an ATV driver be at least 16 years of age and present a valid driver's license at the time of rental.
