Camp Id-Ra-Ha-Je West
 | 3 PHOTOS Aerial view of the camp... Campers and the sign... View... ... We operate as a retreat center for children, youth and adults year around. A typical week-end retreat costs $95 per person.
Our Mission:
Our greatest desire is that God would use Camp West for His glory in bringing people to him in evangelism and discipleship. Our prayer is that this occurs both in the retreats we host and the summer camps we operate for children and youth.
For good reason, we qualify the types of organizations that may use this facility to those who are best described as 'Bible believing'. In other words, they are churches and ministries that believe the Bible to be God's inerrant and inspired word, and live out their lives in regards to what the Bible teaches. That is not to say that all groups that use this camp are in total agreeement on all issues. But on the basics of biblical orthodoxy, we must agree.

Crater Lake

Excellent white-water kayaking on the Crystal River, for the experienced expert only. Coors Falls at Lead King Basin is a top scale challenge, as is the 2-mile river course from the Crystal Mill. Somewhat milder is the Crystal River from Marble to Redstone. Beyond Redstone gets a little hairy... |
Lost Lake Campground
 | 18 miles away I just camped at Lost Lake 2 weeks ago! It is so beautiful and serene they were holding a wedding there 2 days after we left. With only 10 campsites, it is quiet and ideal for families or couples. A beautiful view of Lost Lake Slough and of the mountains in the background greeted us in the morning. The full moon rising over the crest of the mountain was a real treat the first night we got there. There is a 3 mile hike within walking distance on which we saw beautiful wildflowers, 2 waterfalls, and 3 lakes. ENJOY!... |
