SUGAR BOWL
sugarbowl.com/summer-camp
Sugar Bowl offers week-long camps to kids ages 4-15, including a mountain biking camp for older kids. Sugar Bowl campers can hike, climb, swim in alpine lakes, and more.
You can’t beat their location! Sugar Bowl’s Camp is adjacent to world-class trail systems (including the Pacific Crest Trail) between Sugar Bowl and Royal Gorge, Lake Mary - a beautiful high alpine lake, Judah Lodge, Village Hall, and the Sugar Bowl Academy Campus.
This year, Sugar Bowl is offering two new camps, the Pine Marten camp and Mountain Bike Camp. Pine Martens is for kids aged 10-12. Their time is less structured than the other camps, while still under the watchful eye of the counselors. This allows for individual growth and independence. Daily, Pine Marten activities include; rock climbing, paddle boarding, fishing, mountain Capture the Flag, tye dye, “trashionshows” and more.
The Sugar Bowl Mountain Bike camp is for riders ages 13-15 who have completed a ride of 12 miles or more before starting with the camp. It will be led by Sugar Bowl’s NICA (National Interscholastic Cycling Association) certified mountain bike coaches who run and coach SBSTA’s freeride program in the winter, although the camp is not a NICA sanctioned event. This focuses primarily on cross-country mountain biking utilizing the extensive trail system of Sugar Bowl/Royal Gorge Resort. Campers will have plenty of fun in all aspects of “all-mountain” biking and may include day trips to other local trail systems or bike parks. Instruction and activities related to bike maintenance and repair, general physical conditioning/stretching and body awareness, goal setting, and character development will also enhance the Mountain Bike camp experience.
Registration for 2023 is now open. If camps are full, inquire about the waiting list.

Woodward’s Multisport Camp curriculum provides instruction in several Woodward programs. In particular, campers receive instruction in skateboarding, scooter riding, BMX, mountain biking, and parkour. Campers do not need to bring any equipment besides a helmet because sport-specific rental equipment is provided (skateboards, scooters, BMX and MTB bikes). Any child can participate in this camp, gain skills and confidence, and progress into a single sport program when ready. This program includes instruction in other activities like obstacle courses, trampolines, hiking, and rock climbing on their outdoor wall.
Single sport programs also offer flexibility - with free choice time in the afternoons, campers can try other sports as well.
