We are excited to offer a "sleep away camp" experience for campers ages 7 - 16.  Nestled in the Collegiate Peaks of the Rockies, AO Silver Cliff Ranch offers campers opportunities for adventure, friendship and fun in an environment with spectacular views and natural features.

Campers will choose from many activities and work with their cabin group to build skills and teamwork. 

Campers can explore their interests through exciting activities, including horseback riding, rafting, rock climbing, hiking and backpacking, kayaking, mountain biking, fine arts, film making and performing arts.

Located at the base of Mt. Princeton in the Collegiate Peaks, AO Silver Cliff Ranch provides opportunities for adventure and outdoor recreation, and allows campers to take advantage of all that a summer in the Rocky Mountains has to offer.

At the start and end of each session, AO will provide free transportation between Boulder, Denver and camp a few hours away. Families are welcome to drive their children up to camp, if they'd like, but transportation is included in all camp fees.

As in all of our programs, camp starts when you get on the bus!
