About Us
Colorado Academy Summer Programs encourage Self Discovery, so that campers can identify passions, nurture talents, and increase skills. In our Traditional Camp, campers sample athletic, creative, and waterfront activities that are engaging and fun. And our Specialty Camps allow individuals to customize their own schedules with intriguing and challenging options.
CA’s 94-acre campus in southwest Denver is the perfect stage for kids from as far as Castle Rock, Evergreen and Parker to come together to learn, laugh, and increase self-confidence. With experienced educators and caring counselors, campers receive the individual attention they need to succeed.
Optional daily transportation is available, and off-site field trips punctuate the curriculum.
Our Purpose: Building Self Confidence is our focus. We want every camper to leave our Summer Programs more aware of who they are and what they can become. We encourage individuals to step out of their comfort zones, challenge themselves, take healthy risks, revel in the experiences, and then acknowledge their accomplishments.
