DENVER, CO

Denver–Park Hill Summer Camp

Here, we put kids in charge.

Preposterous? Possibly. Effective? You betcha.

When you trust kids, they trust themselves. For 43 years, we’ve put kids in charge of their own learning experience. As they try, fail, and learn on their own, they learn to trust their own judgment, and tackle the challenges of an ever changing world with creativity and confidence.

Campers choose minute to minute from a variety of activities. They’ll decide what they want to do, and for how long. Our job is to get out of their way, cheerlead creative risks, and provide just enough guidance to make sure nobody does anything totally* senseless.

*Totally senseless: By our definition, mistakes aren’t senseless. They’re how you learn.

SHOW ME ACTIVITIES

Buy any number of days. Use them any time. Get refunds for unused days.

You can buy a Day Pass here and 22 there, or go for the whole shebang with a Summer Pass. You don’t even have to tell us when you’re going to show up (or pretend like you know when you’re going to show up). If you have unused passes left over, we’ll automatically refund them in full at summer’s end.

Lunch, snacks, and all hours, 8am–6pm, included.

Activities for Every Interest

In the early morning and late afternoon, campers ramp up and wind down with recreational choices. For the bulk of the day, children will choose from the activities listed below. While we can’t say exactly what the day will look like, one thing is for sure: The campers are in control.

Kids bring their stories to life in the Media Lab, as they create stop-motion “shorts” filmed on our custom-built animation stages designed to frame sets perfectly.

kinder_sewing — Campers of all ages design their own clothing & adornments using customized patterns & challenges. They’ll make items like bags, clothing, & accessories through a mix of hand & machine sewing.

dance_Perform_stage — Enjoy motion-based games like Switch & Just Dance, plus new karaoke systems, back drops, & party props. Whether it’s expressing themselves through song & dance, or acting out a play, if they can dream it, they can do it!

robots_2 — Within the Media Lab, campers have access to the latest in robotic equipment to promote learning & problem-solving. This space has both guided activities & self-directed games & tools like robot landscapes & custom mazes.

breadmaking1_web-309 — A beloved space where baking enthusiasts & taste-testers unite to experiment with recipes. Choosing from a variety of fillings, spices, & add-ons, campers explore new flavors or customize creations to suit their individual tastes.

maker_boys — Explore creativity through crafts, inventor kits, & even 3D pens, to construct take-home projects or collaborate on large-scale builds. Our hand-selected STEAM-based materials are designed to foster curiosity & exploration.

piethrowing_8 — Our 43+ year-long camp traditions continue, with games such as Finding Chuckie (a beloved, mini rubber chicken) & Friday Pieday–where campers & staff celebrate the end of the week with a whipped cream pie to the face!

gaga_girl — Each site is filled with a core set of athletic equipment that utilizes & complements the unique spaces & interests of its campers. Kids & staff band together to exercise, play sports, design games & obstacle courses, & more!

specials_boy3 — Each day, campers delight in a unique, show-stopping special. These could include giant inflatables, movement classes, workshops, performances, or more! *Check out our local 2023 weekly activity schedule, here.*

waterslide_3 (5) — Games and activities like water tag, inflatable slip n’ slides, & giant sprinklers make for unforgettable water-adventures on hot summer days (space and local water restrictions permitting).

lounge_2 — A communal place to socialize & play with a wonderland of indoor games like foosball & marble mazes. In our quiet corner, campers unplug with sensory objects, puzzles, fidget toys, & a library of books for all ages.

Testimonials From Our Summer Camp in Denver

Camp was a huge success for my kids!! My son Jack was crying hysterically before drop off this morning and came running to greet me this afternoon asking if he can go to camp even though I'm not working tomorrow. He gave the rave review "Mom, that actually wasn't boring!". Both kids had a great time and I am excited to have this option for my kids as I work part time and love the idea of drop in and not making lunch!

Michelle D.

Ryleigh let me know camp was 'awesome'! She doesn't generally gush about her day -- but she gushed! She is very excited about trying the 'hamster balls' later this week and proud of the music she produced. Please continue doing what you're doing!

Stephanie P.

My girls had an awesome day. Mira said she felt like sewing before dinner and proceeded to make a tool belt from the pockets she made at camp. She also liked the robotics stuff. Sophia was pretty psyched about bread and music making and oh yes, the hamster ball. I love the open format and the fact that we get to pick which days to come. I think it’s a great fit for us. I kind of wish I could transport myself back in time and be an almost 9 year old for a bit.

We’re excited for Jon to join the S&K team this year! Jon loves all things theater & travel, and when not at camp you can usually find him adventuring around the world or working in his makerspace. He even taught himself the art of 3d printing!

This summer Jon is most excited for the Tinker Lab, as he loves designing and creating things! He also hopes to learn to sew along side the campers!
