One of two properties owned by the Girl Scouts of NM Trails, Elliott Barker summer camps focus on hig

Camp Elliott Barker is located in the beautiful Moreno Valley, at the base of Palo Flechado Pass, 26 miles east of Taos, New Mexico. The Carson National Forest, Angel Fire Resort, and the village of Angel Fire are the camp’s nearby neighbors. Camp Elliott Barker is a high-altitude retreat, with elevations ranging from 8,680 feet on the western edge to 8,350 feet on the eastern meadows. One of the oldest log homes in the Moreno Valley stands on camp property and is still used today as the camp ranger’s residence. The oldest working bard in the entire valley is also on site and is used to house horses year round. In December of 1962, a tract of 536 acres of land was purchased by the Sangre de Cristo Girl Scout Council. The site had been located by a search committee headed by Elliott Barker, a renowned New Mexico conversationalist. The land was purchased using proceeds from Girl Scout cookie sales. In 1963, the camp opened as “Girl Scout Camp near Eagle Nest”. It wasn’t until 1975 that the camp received a real name, Camp Elliott Barker.

Me & My Scout Weekend at Camp Elliott Barker transforms the mountains of Angel Fire into a realm of Forest Magic, where every trail, tree, and campfire moment invites connection and wonder. This two day retreat blends classic camp traditions with a touch of enchantment: explore whispering pines, discover hidden nature lore, craft woodland inspired keepsakes, and take on outdoor challenges that strengthen teamwork and confidence.

As the sun sets, pairs gather for glowing campfires, s'mores, and stories that bring the forest to life. Stargazing in Barker's clear night sky adds a final layer of magic to the experience.

This is a great first camp friendly experience. Designed for all ages and experience levels, the weekend offers progression friendly activities and plenty of space to slow down, laugh, and make memories. Leave feeling grounded, inspired, and connected; because the forest is even more magical when you explore it together.
