McKnight and has been operating since 1928, making it 99 years old. The camp offers an overnight program with activities like riflery, archery, horseback riding, and watersports. The website states, 'All staff members are required to pass a background check prior to employment.' Google reviews give Camp La Junta a 4.9-star rating based on 100 reviews, with many parents praising the positive impact on their sons' confidence and independence. Social media handles found are @camp_lajunta on Instagram and camplajunta on Facebook.

Who thrives here Ages 14–16

CIT Session 1B serves high-school campers, which means the program is competing against summer jobs, college visits, internships, and residential overnight options. The case for a day camp at this age is usually a CIT (counselor-in-training) track, deep specialization in overnight/sleepaway, or a portfolio item parents and kids both value. Programs that don't articulate one of those three usually lose this age band by 9th grade.
