J Bar Double C Ranch
Elbert County
The 388-acre J Bar Double C Ranch is significant for its development and use between 1952 and 1967 as a western summer camp for children of Jewish heritage.
The main building of the J Bar CC Ranch in 2004.
Beginning on the East Coast after World War I, children’s summer camps geared to the Jewish community spread westward after the World War II. The J Bar Double C Ranch camp was the Denver Jewish community’s response to the need for such a facility in the area and is one of only two Jewish summer camps in Colorado.
