Stone Canyon Summer Day Camp
Explore, Create, Play
Explore
Each day campers will get an opportunity to explore our 99-acre property in Larkspur, CO. by hiking through the woods, examining critters in our creek, and getting up close and personal with the nature around them. With the guidance of our staff, campers will unplug from technology and plug into the natural environment.
Create
Creation is at the heart of our camp. Our goal is to foster an environment where campers can immerse themselves in their curiosity, develop friendships, and discover new skills. With a combination of structured activities and free time to explore, campers will make memories to last a lifetime!
Play
In one week of day camp, Stone Canyon offers over 20 activities. These activities are crafted and designed to get campers outside and PLAY! Play encourages kids to test their own limits, be social, and have fun. No camp experience would be complete without a day full of opportunities to learn, grow, and of course, play.
