More About Camp
Mountain Day Camp provides authentic nature-based experiences for children and families across Colorado's Front Range. We create multilevel connections, with a focus on youth and community development, through nature exploration, choice, and play.
Mountain Day Camp is Accredited by the American Camp Association and licensed by the State of Colorado.
Founded and staffed by camp and youth development professionals, the Mountain Day Camp partners with parents and families to continue to build a powerful camp community throughout the summer.
We offer:
*Day camps from 8:30am to 4:30pm for campers ages 7-12 in Denver and Boulder
*Day camps from 9am to 3pm for campers ages 4.5-6 in Boulder
*Backpacking trips for campers ages 12-14 in the Boulder area
*Extended hours of care available from 7:45am to 6pm
Each day of the Mountain Day Camp has a consistent structure and routine, but no day is ordinary. On any given day, campers could be hiking a trail, making a journal about their experiences at camp, rock climbing, or learning about the environment and Leave No Trace ethics through nature crafts and games. Our campers are enthusiastic about the natural world, excited to get outside, and be actively engaged during the summer.
Campers will also participate in these developmentally-appropriate activities:
Hands-on environmental education programs
Daily opening and closing ceremonies
Campfire-style events with songs, skits and games
Teambuilding and challenge course activities
Orienteering and mapping adventures
An optional overnight camping out in tents or under the stars (please call if you have questions about this!)
And much more...
