About
Adventure Camp Wash Park introduces campers to a range of outdoor sports, including mountain biking, hiking, rock climbing, canoeing, kayaking, and stand up paddleboarding. Campers follow a weekly activity rotation that can include stand up paddleboarding on Monday, hiking on Tuesday, kayaking on Wednesday, biking on Thursday, and canoeing on Friday. Paddling sessions use a flat-water instruction program that focuses on equipment, safety, and getting campers comfortable with the basics before building deeper skills.
• Ages: 7–12 years old
• Schedule: One-week sessions, Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–3:00 PM, with extended care available 8:00 AM–5:30 PM
• Price: One-week session $740; Early Drop Off (starting at 8:00 AM) $35; After Care (3:00–5:30 PM) $105; Avid4 merch available with prices varying (tax included)
Instructors at Adventure Camp Wash Park are all 18 and older, with serious safety and skills training, and are described as “the best outdoor instructors around,” “insatiable outdoors experts,” and talented teachers who connect with kids and encourage them to challenge themselves appropriately. Every activity starts with a discussion about risks, prevention, and response, and the program states that it does everything in its power to keep kids safe but does not “pack them up in bubble wrap,” instead giving campers knowledge and confidence to take calculated, well-communicated risks.
Campers can bring their own bikes or borrow from an Avid4 Adventure fleet that accommodates campers of any size, and they use professional-caliber, top-of-the-line gear specifically sized for kids for activities like mountain biking, kayaking, and climbing. Avid4 Adventure provides transportation to and from recreation areas for each day’s adventure sport and organizes big adventures in authentic local recreation areas. Campers are grouped by grade range, with 2nd–4th graders focusing on getting comfortable with new activities and 5th–7th graders focusing more on teamwork, mentorship, and deepening technical competence, and parents and campers meet staff at a consistent location daily before transportation.
During camp, participants learn about local flora and fauna, practice Leave No Trace principles, and take part in teambuilding activities. Stand up paddleboarding days include games and challenges to work on balance, along with instruction in proper strokes and rescue techniques. The program states that multiple sessions can result in greater skill development, increased self-confidence, higher levels of risk assessment and environmental awareness, and improved ability to connect socially and make new friends, and that campers become more thoughtful, responsible risk takers and problem solvers in the outdoors and other aspects of their lives.
Adventure Camp Wash Park is part of Avid4 Adventure, which describes itself as “the home of multi-sport adventure” and offers programs that evolve as campers grow from age 3 to 17. Avid4 Adventure hires approximately 500 educators across all camps, is committed to paying educators a fair wage, and operates under a Special Use authorization from the National Forest Service as an Equal Opportunity Employer. The organization states that it believes in the transformative power of the outdoors and in empowering kids of all ages from PreK–12, and that at Avid4 Adventure kids build confidence, make new friends, and master essential skills in paddling, biking, rock climbing, and hiking.
Avid4 Adventure reports that its camps are top-notch, highly acclaimed, and 5-star rated, and that Avid4 instructors are the number one point of positive feedback from parents. The program is accredited by the American Camp Association, named among Colorado Parent’s Top 5 Sports Camps, and is a Certified B Corp committed to public transparency and accountability, with a 2024 Impact Summary that includes key initiatives, improvements, challenges, and goals for a sustainable and inclusive future. The camp is backed by the Avid4 Adventure Guarantee, which promises an authentic outdoor adventure, incredibly well-trained and professional staff, and increased confidence, and states that if the camp does not meet these promises, the next Avid4 Adventure camp is free.
Available discounts include a Multi-Session/Sibling option that allows families to mix and match sessions for $25 off per session after the first, a Referral Program where families can give friends $50 off their first camp and receive a $50 coupon for a future 2026 camp after the friend enrolls, and a Service Discount of $65 off for qualifying professions. Avid4 Adventure notes that campers develop know-how and lasting self-assuredness that can support a lifetime of outdoor adventure and that they are taught solid skills, including how to use sound judgment and problem-solving in all aspects of their lives.
Parent testimonials describe Adventure Camp Wash Park as a favorite camp where a child progressed from training wheels to riding a bike independently after camp, and where stand up paddleboarding, kayaking, and biking became favorite activities. Other parents report that their children were eager to share what they learned each day, describe staff as mature, responsible, and excited to share their passion with kids, and say that their kids had “the best time” at camp, stayed active every day, and continued talking about camp weeks later. Avid4 Adventure states that campers develop know-how and lasting self-assuredness that propel them toward a lifetime of outdoor adventure.
