The Trail West booking season is March through early May and mid- to late-August through early November.

Additional Info
Do you have a smaller group? Are you looking for a venue to use between September and May? We may still have an option for you!
For smaller groups of less than 50, we have several housing options. We don't provide a meal plan for groups of under 50 people, so this gives groups like yours the chance to stay at a Young Life camp, and keep your cost down by preparing your own meals. The following accommodations have their own kitchens for food preparation: Red Deer Chalet, Shavano Chalet, Antero Chalet, The Elk Chalet, and Condos. Please see their descriptions in the housing options below.
