About
Explorer Camp – Central Park (Avid4 Adventure) introduces campers to outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking, canoeing, biking, mountain biking, rock climbing, and paddling.

During a typical week, the sample schedule includes kayaking and yoga on Monday, art and on-site biking on Tuesday, biking and yoga on Wednesday, music and canoeing on Thursday, and hiking and art on Friday. Explorer Camp – Central Park (Avid4 Adventure) provides transportation to and from recreation areas and organizes activities in outdoor recreation areas, with parents and campers meeting staff at a consistent location daily and groups returning to the same facility for afternoon pick up. The camp uses a camper-to-staff ratio of 5:1 for this Explorer program for 5- and 6-year-olds entering Kindergarten or 1st Grade.
Avid4 Adventure states that its mission is rooted in a belief in the transformative power of the outdoors and in building kids’ confidence, friendships, and skills in paddling, biking, rock climbing, and hiking. The organization describes its programs as evolving with campers from age 3 through 17, including progression up to their first summer job. Avid4 Adventure also states that it does everything in its power to keep kids safe while giving them knowledge and confidence to take calculated, well-communicated risks, with the goal of helping them become more thoughtful and responsible risk takers and problem solvers in the outdoors and in other parts of life.
The Explorer Camp – Central Park (Avid4 Adventure) program is backed by the Avid4 Adventure Guarantee, which promises each child an authentic outdoor adventure, well-trained and professional staff, and increased confidence, and promises parents a customer experience that exceeds expectations; if these promises are not met, the next Avid4 Adventure camp is offered at no cost. Avid4 Adventure reports that hikes at this camp are age appropriate and include learning about local flora and fauna and Leave-No-Trace principles. For half of each day, campers also take part in more introspective activities such as storytime yoga focused on breathing and balance, art focused on self-expression and artistic techniques, and music that engages both bodies and voices.
Families are strongly encouraged to send campers with their own bike for biking day, with training wheels removed before camp. Avid4 Adventure notes that it uses professional-caliber equipment so campers experience how successful mountain biking, kayaking, and climbing are supposed to feel, and that campers get access to top-of-the-line gear specifically sized for kids.
Avid4 Adventure describes its instructors as high-class outdoor educators who are 18 and older, with serious safety and skills training and what the organization calls impeccable credentials. The organization states that its staff members are experienced, committed outdoor educators who are described as insatiable outdoors experts and are characterized as being adored by campers and parents. The leadership team is headed by founder David Secunda, who is identified as a former president of the Outdoor Industry Association and a 25-year veteran of the outdoor education industry.
Avid4 Adventure is accredited by the American Camp Association, is a Certified B Corp committed to public transparency and accountability, and has been named among Colorado Parent’s Top 5 Sports Camps. The organization operates under a Special Use authorization from the National Forest Service and is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
Parent testimonials describe children learning new outdoor skills and continuing to talk about camp after it ends. One parent reports that a child who previously rode a bike only with training wheels learned to ride without them during camp and continued practicing afterward. Other parents describe the staff as mature, responsible, and excited to share their passion with children, and note that their kids were active every day and looked forward to returning the following year.
