This isn't your third-grader's summer camp. Like any week away from home, long-lasting connections and self-discovery as well as transformative growth and silly shenanigans are all on the agenda. But when you blend that fun and emotion while covering 120 grueling miles over 20,000 feet of elevation gain, topping out at 12,600 feet, you have the adventure known as TransRockies-- TRR. For over 15 years, runners have shown their grit (and occasionally their wild sides) by challenging themselves to an elevated experience in the Colorado mountains. Summer Camp for Big Kids presents the stories of more than 30 of those participants, plus images from talented photographers that showcase the up close and personal as well as the vast, inspiring terrain that TRR campers traverse every year. From Buena Vista to Beaver Creek, over Hope Pass and taking in some well-deserved rest and relaxation in ChillVille, TransRockies tests limits while ensuring camaraderie and unwavering support with a newfound family. Who says you have to leave summer camp behind just because you're an adult? Come for the outdoors and the exercise; stay for the life-changing memories and perspectives. TRR contains them all.
