Get Ready for Fun, Challenge and Adventure

Adventure Camp is a 5-night sleep-away camp experience (Sunday through Friday) at the YMCA of the Rockies’ Snow Mountain Ranch in Granby, Colorado. This co-ed camp welcomes participants ages 9 and up—there’s no upper age limit!

Teams

Campers are divided into four age-based teams:

  • Under 18: Eagles and Timberwolves
  • 18 and older: Mountain Lions and Blackbears

Accommodations

Campers stay in YMCA cabins with comfortable sleeping rooms (2-4 people per room), full bathrooms on each floor, and kitchen facilities. Male and female campers have separate sleeping quarters. Daily activities and meals take place in a central cabin area.

Adam’s Camp staff store and distribute snacks and any personal food items campers bring.

What You Can Expect

This is our very popular summer camp. It is a week-long experience where your camper is dropped off on a Sunday at the YMCA of the Rockies in Granby, CO (address will be provided), and picked up on Friday.

When you register your camper, spots will open based on the age of your camper. Your camper can sign up for any of the weeks, but only 1 week in the summertime. Whichever week works best for your schedule. However, you also have the option to sign up on our waitlist for other weeks, and if any slots are available, then you may have the option to allow your camper to enjoy an additional week of Adventure Camp.

What Campers Learn at Adventure Camp

Campers begin the transition from relying completely on therapists and care providers to taking risks, making “supported” mistakes, problem solving, and learning how to effectively work toward independence.

Personal Growth Starts With a Plan.

At Adam’s Camp, it is our mission to help your camper to realize their potential while developing strengths. Working toward overcoming obstacles while highlighting successes will help your camper reach new heights on their way to independence.

Confidence for Growth

Confidence allows your camper to forget what they think their limits are, and take pride as they set a new bar for their personal growth. There are many amazing opportunities for campers to find their confidence here!

Independence is Encouraged Here

Success at Adam’s Camp is measured by independence. We encourage campers to work toward goals that will allow them to take more control of their daily life as we assist them throughout activities just enough to constantly challenge them to take that next leap toward personal growth.

Team Work

Camaraderie, teamwork and communication are key pillars to prepare campers for everyday, real world experiences. Communication in a safe space where campers can test the waters of groupthink to accomplish common goals is a major life skill they will take away from Adam’s Camp.

Courage is a State of Mind

Part of realizing potential comes from the conscious transition from “I can’t” to “I will.” We encourage all of our campers to find their inner sense of adventure as they face their challenges with a can-do attitude!
