School is out! What better way to spend a summer day than hanging out with friends and exploring our big backyard, Western Colorado.

Join us for our Integrated Outdoor Adventure Day Camp for youth and adults, ages 8 to the oldest kid at heart.

At Day Camp, individuals with disabilities spend time outdoors exploring their abilities in a in a safe and therapeutic environment. Our camp allows campers the opportunity to work directly with high school volunteers, which in return provides an integrated therapeutic value. We have a simple goal for our Day Camp: to provide opportunities for outdoor recreation through innovative, barrier-free environments.
