"My children loved the interaction with other campers and counselors, and they loved the adventuring with things they had never done before - like hikes where they learned about the flora and fauna. They made so many friends and the field trips were so fun."

-Natalie, 2025 Camp Parent, Colorado School of Mines

"My 5 year old daughter attended Champ Camp during summer 2025. She enjoyed every single day of the camp. It was fun, educational and friendly."
