DENVER, CO

Denver Spring Break Camp

We are currently at capacity for our Spring Break Camp in Denver–Park Hill, and have closed enrollment to unregistered campers. Join our waitlist to be notified as space opens up!

Here, we put kids in charge.

Preposterous? Possibly. Effective? You betcha.

When you trust kids, they trust themselves. For 42 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 activities minute to minute–deciding 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.

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

Buy any number of Day Passes to use any day we’re open this spring session. You don’t even need to tell us when you’re coming–just show up! And if for any reason your plans change, we’ll refund your unused Passes automatically in full at spring’s end.

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

Activities for Every Interest

Campers will design their day in real-time by choosing from a variety of activities offered at once. 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.

Testimonials From Our Camps in Denver

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.
Amy S.

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!

This will be Kelly’s second year directing with Steve & Kate’s in Denver! Kelly enjoys backpacking, and recently thru-hiked the Pacific Crest Trail! When not at camp you can usually find Kelly running or hiking in the mountains.

This year Kelly hopes to re-learn how to use a sewing machine, but is most excited to meet all the campers and families!
