Colorado Academy Summer Programs offers athletic activities, creative activities, waterfront activities, music, art, outdoor activities, and STEM.

Colorado Academy has offered summer activities for Denver metro area youth since 1951, and a sizable number of campers are not students at Colorado Academy during the academic year. Optional daily transportation is available for campers, and young people attend from areas including Castle Rock, Evergreen, and Parker. The leadership team includes Jenny Wilczewski, Director of Summer Programs and “Head Smile Maker,” and Renee Medina, Assistant to the Director of Summer Programs.

The mission of Colorado Academy Summer Programs is to encourage self-discovery so that campers can identify passions, nurture talents, and increase skills. The stated purpose is building self-confidence, with an emphasis on stepping out of comfort zones, taking healthy risks, enjoying the experiences, and acknowledging accomplishments.

Parents describe their children learning, growing, trying new things, and forming friendships at Colorado Academy Summer Programs, and they mention enjoying options such as music, art, outdoor activities, and STEM. Parent comments also note that their children laugh, have fun, stay active, and want to return in future summers. One parent reports driving across town for the variety of camp options, and another calls Colorado Academy Summer Programs the best-run summer camp program with many choices.
