Program Highlights

Authentic Nature-Based Activities: In all areas of our program, we promote opportunities for learning about and interacting directly with the natural environment.

Team Building: Throughout the session, counselors present cabin groups with age- and ability- appropriate teambuilding challenges. Through these experiences campers practice working together and listening to each other.

Hiking: While hiking on the beautiful trails of Boulder County’s OSMP, campers are lead by at least 2 staff per group that teach Leave No Trace environmental ethics, hiking techniques, trail etiquette, and outdoor games.

Swimming: At Spruce Pool, campers participate in a swimming skills evaluation on pool day and are allowed into areas of the kids' pool according to ability. We also play like crazy in the water features that surround the pool!

Climbing: AO Junior campers have an opportunity to climb during the session on Altogether Outdoor's 26 foot portable rock climbing tower. At their age, it's almost more fun being lowered by the auto-belay system as it is to climb up!

Just wanted to let you know that Kyra LOVES camp! She's having a fantastic time and, when she was invited to go to play with a friend in the afternoon this week, she said, no way - I don't want to miss a minute of Camp! Your staff are doing a great job!

- Laura, parent of two AO campers since 2008

The camp counselors at AO are some of the most professional and best trained that I've experienced in the area. I always felt my children were safe and in good hands with counselors who pay close attention.

- Juliette, mother of two AO campers

I really love your camp because you are just back to the basics of summer. My camper plays outside and has fun every day!
