Week 1: June 10- June 14: Pueblo Time Machine 
Campers will jump through time continuums as they learn about 18th and 19th century Pueblo, Colorado.

Becoming a time traveler will grant the campers with the opportunity to have a helping hand in Pueblo’s origin story.

Campers will learn all about plants and gardening while gaining culinary experience. They will have the opportunity to become modern homesteaders by learning about our environment through art projects, experiments, and more!

Week 3: June 24 - June 28: Rendezvous Through Colorado
This week campers will take an imaginative trip through Colorado and learn all about the history of some of Colorado’s oldest towns. Each day campers will get the opportunity to learn about national parks, historic ghost towns, and the amazing people that have lived here in our colorful Colorado. 

Week 4: July 8 - July 12: Myths, Legends, and Storytellers
Campers will learn about various myths and legends across cultures. They will explore stories passed down through generations as they engage and create their own legendary stories!

Additional Information

Camp is in session from 8 am to 4 pm. Drop off will start at 8 am. Students will check in with our education staff at the side entrance and parents will have to come inside to sign your child in. During the first hour of the day, students will wash their hands and are welcome to eat breakfast or play games with other students and staff. We ask that your child arrive before 9 am, when our programming begins. The first part of the day is super important for your child as we will start getting to know one another, having mindful conversations, and preparing for our day. 

When it is time to pick up your child, you or your alternate pick up person (confirmed in our registration records) must come inside to sign out your child. Please pick up your child by 4 pm.
