...eaches. 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.

Affiliations, Ownership, Denominations...

Camp Id-Ra-Ha-Je West is an independent ministry, not affiliated with any one church or denomination, and not owned by any group, individual, or church. The camp has been a ministry of trust for the past 32 years, continuing to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ and teaching the Bible as the cornerstone of this ministry.

Within the context of the camps and events we sponsor, we place a priority on the teaching of the Bible. It is our distinct desire that God would utilize this facility in many ways to cause others to grow in Him. We desire the camp to be a place of scriptural discipleship, where the word is taught, studied, and lived out that we may grow in grace, and love Jesus more each day. For how can we serve someone we do not love, and how can we love someone we do not know. And how can we know Him apart from studying His Word?

May the Lord richly bless ...

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!...
