Camp Favorites Before Summer Starts!
Spring break always feels like a teaser to summer break—lengthening days, warming weather, and school is even out for a bit! We will be leaning into that ‘summer break warm-up’ feeling by having a camp that is a “sampler” of our whole summer camp slate. Each day of camp will be a condensed version of one of our summer camp weeks, utilizing activities that campers love doing year after year! Of course, we will also lean into the spring season by utilizing unique opportunities the season provides. In Catamount Institute fashion, we will do almost every activity outside if it is safe weather-wise!
- A day focused on spring-centric outdoor & science activities!
- A day focused on ecosystem science!
- A day focused on all things Colorado!
- A day focused on animals!
- A day focused on outdoor recreation & hobbies!
- Play plenty of outdoor games each day
- Arts & crafts each day as well!

- For this day camp, please pack a snack, lunch and water bottle for your camper each day.
- Any and all medications the campers may need in their original containers with prescriber notes (see additional information in faq question below and in registration forms).
- Campers will be outside so we recommend they put sunscreen on in the morning before camp and bring a bottle to reapply as needed throughout the day (we cannot provide sunscreen). Even with cloudy weather, sunburns are still possible.
- Wear or bring a brimmed hat, rain jacket, and winter weather appropriate shoes (tennis shoes, hiking boots, or snow boots).
- Clothing you don’t mind getting wet and muddy as campers will be outside exploring doing field studies. Sometimes an extra pair of socks can come in handy as well.
- We are expecting chilly weather so have your camper dress very warm in several layers! It is better if they come over prepared and can take layers off than underprepared and be cold all day.

At Catamount Institute, we strive to create programs that are enjoyable for as many children as possible. The health and safety of our campers are our top priorities in everything that we do. Due to this, there are some limitations of our program and its staff. We are not able to provide a one-on-one attendant to address a camper’s individual personal needs. We are also not able to accommodate some medical/health conditions that are beyond the scope of our staff’s medical training. Before enrolling a child with any special needs, please contact us to discuss potential accommodations. Our goal is to make camp an equal opportunity for all.
