Youth Camps and Retreat Centers in New Mexico
New Mexico is one of the largest states in the United States and that is reflected in its landscape and topography. New Mexico consists of arid desert region, high mesas, sweeping plains and rugged mountains. This diverse terrain makes New Mexico a prime place for a wide variety of outdoor activities.
While New Mexico has a drier climate in the desert regions, the mountains regularly get snow precipitation, meaning that there are plenty of winter recreational sports to enjoy such as alpine skiing, cross-country skiing and snowboarding. The summer temperatures can be scorching, but there are numerous beautiful lakes and rivers in which to enjoy cliff-jumping, whitewater rafting and even scuba diving. New Mexico is home to 17 national forests, 35 state parks and 25 wilderness areas, so the options for outdoor adventures are endless!
