Camps with Catamount Institute

Go outside and explore!

Catamount Institute camps are designed with your child in mind. Not only will they have an outdoor adventure, but they will also learn about science while making new friends.

We have yet to open our Summer Camp ’25 as we try and plan new experiences based on how the previous year went! If you would like to be notified when we open registration please fill out the form to the right.

  • We often keep what families and campers like, and also add new activities and experiences based on what feedback, new ideas, and opportunities come our way! Different ages and camp weeks have different themes as well. 
  • Prices and scholarship funding may change from previous years based on our annual budget and funds.
  • Besides possible activity changes, the logistics and details often stay the same. See below for more information on each camp. Please be patient as we update all logistics to prepare for opening registration!

Knowing interest levels also help us plan events so that they meet community needs. The more interest and info we have ahead of time the better. Thank you!

Thank you for a great 2021 Camp Season
2022 Coming soon!

Thank you for your interest in Catamount Institute summer camps! We had an incredible 2021 season. Over 175 campers, 10 camps, over 8 weeks. We will open registration for 2022 in Mid December. If you would like to know as soon as registration opens please contact us and we will let you know as soon as registration opens! 

2021 Summer Camps & COVID-19

Here are some of the ways we will create a safe camp environment:

Mask update 2021- Based on guidance from the CDC and State of Colorado we will not require children to wear masks outdoors as the risk of transmission is low in outdoor settings. We will have campers wear masks if we need to move indoors for any reason, however this is only in case of an emergency like lightning in the area. Campers can wear masks if they feel comfortable and we will provide masks if needed.

All of the Catamount Institute staff and summer staff are fully vaccinated however some may still choose to wear a mask this summer.

  • Some of the additional steps we are taking to mitigate the possibility of transmission of diseases.
    High touch areas will be disinfected daily with a CDC approved cleaner.
  • Campers will use hand sanitizer frequently and wash hands at our eight-child handwashing station.
  • Camp activities will encourage physical distancing to the best of our ability.
  • Masks will be worn if we have to move indoors for an emergency (lightning)
  • Staff and campers will be screened daily for symptoms.
  • All staff is vaccinated

If your child has been in contact with someone who has been experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, we ask you not to send them to camp. We will provide refunds (minus a $35 processing fee) if your child is showing symptoms or has been in contact with someone with symptoms. Please use this symptom tracker for more information.

 Please note: Coronavirus, COVID-19, is an extremely contagious virus that spreads easily through person-to-person contact. Federal and state authorities recommend social distancing as a means to prevent the spread of the virus. COVID-19 can lead to severe illness, personal injury, permanent disability, and death. Participating in Catamount Institute programs or accessing Catamount Institute facilities could increase the risk of contracting COVID-19. Catamount Institute in no way warrants that COVID-19 infection will not occur through participation in Catamount Institute programs or accessing Catamount Institute facilities.

 We understand that the above statement is scary. Please know we are closely working with local health officials, county and state, to provide a safe and healthy environment for the campers. If you want to remove your child from camp, we understand this hard decision. Please fill out this form: camp canceling and refund request. You can also email us at info@catamountinstitute.org or call us at 719-471-0910.

Our camps require that the youngest campers must have completed kindergarten to be eligible for registration. Camp age requirements are determined by the child’s age at the start of their camp week, not at the time of registration. If your child falls outside the specified age range for a camp, please feel free to contact us for assistance.

Haga clic en cualquier insignia para obtener más información sobre ese campamento. Nuestros campamentos requieren que los campistas más jóvenes hayan completado el jardín de infantes para ser elegibles para registrarse. Los requisitos de edad del campamento están determinados por la edad del niño al comienzo de la semana del campamento, no al momento de la inscripción. Si su hijo se encuentra fuera del rango de edad especificado para un campamento, no dude en contactarnos para obtener ayuda.

         Summer Camp Structure 2025

Four of our 2025 summer camps are offered twice this summer; 1st sessions are before July, and the 2nd sessions are after.

Those same four camps are for 5-12-year-olds; however, during the week, the campers will be split into two groups based on age. The 5-8-year-olds and 9-12-year-olds will be doing different activities to ensure age-appropriate lessons and experiences. The older age group will go on field trips in the Pikes Peak Region. 

2025 Scholarship Application: This year we have changed our scholarship application system! If you are interested in applying for a scholarship for your camper please fill out the scholarship form by clicking the “Scholarship Information” button just below.
