Rising Trails New Mexico is a community-based non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring that Rancho Del Chaparral Girl Scout Camp remains a place where future generations of New Mexico’s youth can build confidence, develop new skills, and forge lifelong connections- to nature, and to friends.

Rising Trails NM is an independent organization and is not affiliated with Girl Scouts of New Mexico Trails, though we share a common goal: preserving outdoor adventure opportunities for youth throughout our state.

Our Mission Includes:

  • Collaborating with the Girl Scouts of New Mexico Trails (GSNMT) as they evaluate Rancho’s future.

  • Supporting maintenance and program activities that keep the camp vibrant and accessible.

  • Advocating for transparency and community involvement in the property’s management.

  • Exploring options to help purchase or steward the camp if GSNMT decides to sell it.
