After three wonderful summers at Duck Lake, we are moving to a new site in Colorado for our adventure program. We are relocating to a gorgeous site right behind Duck Lake, on the St. Vrain called James Park. James Park is a wonderful camp ground owned by First Baptist of Boulder that includes a beautiful mountain lodge with fireplace and commercial kitchen. There are also two dormitories that sleep 20 each and a cottage that sleep 6. This centrally located site, nestled in the heart of the Roosevelt National Forest offers many opportunities for adventure, relaxation, and meditation. You may visit http://www.fbc-boulder.org/resources/james-park.php for more information about the facility.
