Deer Hill's mission is to inspire wholehearted personal growth by sharing in the responsibilities of a nurturing and dynamic community. Appreciation of the natural world, stewardship of our Earth and a connection with one’s own humanity is fostered through wilderness experiences and service to native lands and people.
Deer Hill leads expeditions for individually enrolled participants during the summer months, and groups for which we have designed a custom program. Additionally, Deer Hill maintains its 130-acre Basecamp as a comfortable, nurturing environment that supports adventures into the field, or makes for a relaxing retreat. While other companies might focus on leading a tour, or teaching specific technical skills, Deer Hill goes beyond these services to include the richness of supported self-discovery.
Field staff are licensed river guides and climbing instructors, many of whom return year after year to work at Deer Hill. In the off-seasons, they work in a variety of fields all around the country, and bring these experiences to their work with Deer Hill.
Founders Doug and Beverly Capelin built Deer Hill’s Basecamp in Mancos, Colorado, at the feet of the majestic Rocky Mountains, and a stone’s throw from the rivers and canyons of southeast Utah. Over the past 30 years, the Capelins have built strong relationships with families and community leaders in the Navajo Nation and in Hopi and Zuni pueblos. Deer Hill’s programs are built on the kind of intimate relationships with people and places that take time and dedication to create.
Deer Hill Expeditions is accredited by the Association for Experiential Education (AEE). In 2019 Deer Hill was awarded AEE Organizational Member of the Year.
