Camp is a way to make memories that will last a lifetime. For many kids, camp is their first big trip away from home. It’s a place to develop a little independence, find new hobbies, make new friends and learn valuable lessons.

From traditional camps that offer a taste of tons of fun activities, to specialized camps that focus on chess, acting, visual arts, computer coding, soccer or horseback riding, Boulder County has a robust offering of day and overnight programs to suit almost any young person’s interests.

Adapted accessibility camps means literally everyone gets the opportunity to get in on the fun.

Your child can star in a piece of musical theater or learn how to use oil paints. Or maybe they’re eager to learn how to identify geological structures and explore the Western plains. Either way, they’ll find the camp of their dreams within these pages.

Camps fill up fast, so peruse Kids Camp with your little ASAP and see what fits.

Ages 5 - 15

With more than 100 camps over seven weeks, you could attend a different camp every week!
