A Beautiful, Secluded Setting...
...only minutes from the Colorado River and majestic Fisher Towers, and 20 miles from Moab and Arches National Park. Our camp is located only 1.5 miles from Hwy. 128. The stunning and private Professor Valley is often-filmed for movies and contains lands proposed for Bureau of Land Management Wilderness Study Area and Area of Critical Environmental Concern. Our private rustic camp is ideal for family, scout, business or special-interest organizations. Two furnished, weatherproof yurts serve as meeting space/classroom and a cook house.
We have an exclusive lease with the BLM for camping in this valley. You'll savor deep silence, awesome views, and, far away from city lights, an unbelievable starry night sky!
FACILITY: Amenities include solar-powered electricity, culinary water delivered from town, limited rustic hot showers, vault toilets, campfire area with seating.
We provide roomy Lakota-style Earthworks tipis with cots for sleeping. Participants bring own sleeping bags, pads, pillows and ground cloths as well towels and toiletries. Rental kits are available.
We provide healthy, balanced meals, snacks, water, lemonade, coffee, tea with menus that accommodate meat and not-meat eaters alike. For additional dietary concerns, you may bring supplemental foods (storage provided in cook yurt; no adjustment to fees.)
Our solar-powered electric system can handle light loads such as a slide projector or computer. Tape decks, CD players are fine for your workshop purposes but otherwise we request you enjoy the sounds and silence of the natural world as much as possible! Quiet hours are between 10 PM and 7 AM in respect for the neighboring ranch. The yurts are cooled in warmer months by low voltage portable swamp coolers. There is a wood stove in the classroom yurt for cooler weeks.
There is no telephone at the camp and cell coverage is unreliable so you'll enjoy being "unplugged", savoring nature’s pace and gifts while staying with us. The nearest available telephone is at Sorrel River Ranch.
There is a large dining "shade" that covers 5 large picnic tables. The classroom can seat approximately 24 people at tables for severe weather. Otherwise, there are chairs or the campfire circle for "lecture style" for 40. Keep in mind this is "camping"; there is limited outside lighting; bring flashlights and headlamps.
INCLUDED: CFI staff provide meals, site management and naturalist orientation to the area and either an evening program or two hour guided nature hike. Beyond that you lead your own workshop, field studies or hike, bike, explore on your own in this private, inspirational setting.<
If you wish more educational service/leadership from CFI you can ADD for additional fees a FULL day river trip, hike, or tour of the National Parks (see either SCHOOL section or ADULT DAY TOUR section of our web page for rates on these additional services; some adjustment to day tour fees would be made for meals/snacks already included in rental fee.)
