Thank you for your interest in your family attending Camp Charlie Colorado 2025. We are excited about this year's camp and look forward to a meaningful camp experience. Please read through this entire cover page for important information about camp and the application process.

- Camp Charlie Colorado 2025 will be held October 17 - 19 at Cal-Wood located near Jamestown, CO.
- The road to Cal-Wood will require a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Campers are responsible for getting their families to camp independently (we will not be providing transportation).
- Cal-Wood has a supply room with boots, gloves, jackets and other winter apparel if needed. Bedding will also be provided if you plan to travel and do not want to pack your own.
- We will be contacting you via phone, text and/or email to schedule an interview with you after we have received their application. This gives us an opportunity to talk about camp, learn more about the death loss and determine whether camp is a good fit for your family at this time. It will also give you an opportunity to ask any questions you and your family have. We anticipate beginning to schedule those interviews later in the spring.
- The interviews typically takes 45 - 60 minutes. We appreciate your making time for the interview a priority as we are unable to accept a family to camp without having had the pre-camp interview.
- Please be aware that after three attempts to contact you without a response, we will consider your family's application inactive.
- All adults will be background checked and filling out this form approves of each search. You will receive an invite through the CARE portal to submit your information for the background check. We have the right to refuse any family based on these findings.
- Pending the outcome of the pre-camp interview and background check, campers will be accepted on a first come basis. Once we reach capacity in a cabin group, additional new camper applicants will be wait listed on a first come basis.
- Camp is FREE for all attending but in order to secure a spot, we will require a deposit via a sliding scale (collected upon acceptance into camp) that we will refund at the start of camp to ensure no last-minute cancellations. Cancellations prior to 30 days will be refunded in full.
- If you have any questions in the interim, please reach out to us by email at charliesguys@gmail.com
