Explorer Camp – Central Park is a one-week Explorer summer camp for 5 and 6 year olds entering Kindergarten or 1st Grade. The program runs with a camper to staff ratio of 5:1, and parents and campers meet staff at a consistent location each day. Avid4 Adventure transports campers to recreation areas for the day’s adventure sport and returns to the facility for afternoon pick up, and transportation to and from recreation areas is provided. Every day is structured to include creative pursuits such as yoga, art, and music. Campers are strongly encouraged to bring their own bike for biking day and are asked to remove any training wheels before camp. The camp is backed by the Avid4 Adventure Guarantee, which promises an authentic outdoor adventure, incredibly well-trained and professional staff, and increased confidence, with a free future camp if these promises are not met. Campers use top-of-the-line gear that is specifically sized for kids, and programs with Avid4 Adventure evolve as campers grow from age 3 through 17. Avid4 Adventure operates under a Special Use authorization from the National Forest Service and is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
Instructors at Explorer Camp – Central Park are all 18 and older and are described as incredibly well-trained and professional staff. Avid4 Adventure states that it hires the most committed, experienced instructors around, with impeccable credentials and serious safety and skills training. The leadership team includes Founder David Secunda, who is a former president of the Outdoor Industry Association and a 25-year veteran of the outdoor education industry.
Avid4 Adventure’s mission states that it believes in the transformative power of the outdoors and aims to give kids a love of outdoor activity and to ensure the future caretaking of the planet. The organization seeks to set kids on a trajectory of lifelong outdoor adventure and stewardship, building their skills, confidence, grit, and determination, and teaching a new generation of adventurers to thrive in the outdoors. Avid4 Adventure is accredited by the American Camp Association, is a Certified B Corp, and has been named among Colorado Parent’s Top 5 Sports Camps. Its summer camps are described as top-notch and highly acclaimed.
Parent testimonials describe children learning new outdoor skills and wanting to return. One parent reports that their daughter arrived biking with training wheels and, after camp and two more park trips, was able to ride without training wheels, and that stand up paddle boarding, kayaking, and biking became her favorite activities. Another parent notes that their child wanted them to come see everything she learned and did each day and describes Avid’s staff as mature, responsible, and excited to share their passion with kids, calling it a really well run program where kids learn new outdoor skills. A third parent shares that their kids had “the best time” at camp, still talked about it more than a month later, and were active every day learning how to enjoy what Colorado has to offer.
