Get Ready for Fun, Challenge and Adventure

Adventure Camp is almost a week long experience (Sunday-Friday). This is a camp for mobile children as young as 9 years old and goes up to adults of any age. Adventure Camp is designed for co-ed activities. Campers lodge onsite at Snow Mountain Ranch (in Granby, CO) in cabins provided by the YMCA of the Rockies. Daily activities and lunch will be in a central cabin area, however, male and female campers will have separate sleeping quarters. Each cabin consists of rooms where between 2 and 4 campers sleep, depending on the number of beds. These cabins also have their own full restrooms (at least one on each floor), as well as full kitchens. Snacks and personal food for campers are held by Adam’s Camp staff and distributed to campers as needed.

Adventure camp is broken down into 4 teams: The Eagles and Timberwolves, which are campers under 18 years of age; and The Mountain Lions and Blackbears which are adults over 18 years of age.

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

Personal Growth Confidence Independence Group Dynamics Courage

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!

Logistics

Check in will be on a Sunday evening at the YMCA of the Rockies Chapel (address etc, will be provided). After check in, you will be instructed to drop your camper off at their assigned teams main cabin. Once all the campers have arrived and had an opportunity to meet each other, the staff take the female campers’ luggage and move it to a separate cabin space, away from the male campers. Pick up will be at the same cabins that you dropped your camper off at initially and will occur on a Saturday. Drop off and pick up times will be specified as the summer camp season approaches.

Campers and Parents Love Adam’s Camp

I never have a problem leaving Rachel since she is so warmly welcomed.

Diane Greenlaw

Those counselors are incredible human beings. They give it there all and seem so excited to meet the campers. I always want to cry happy tears. My daughter looks so forward to this all year long!

Kelley Elliot

I always have fun dropping Annie off! She can never wait to get rid of me! That's good!

Sherry Bruff

We could look around and help our son set up his space and make sure he was all set. They knew some of his interests and immediately started engaging him.

Jen Trotter

Great way for our special kiddos to learn to spread their independent wings in a fun and safe environment. He said "best camp EVER" when I picked him up

Joanne Sherman

Dusty accomplished ZIPLINE! Yeah, a goal he had wanted to do for awhile.

Dustin Scrage

Eric is much more verbal and confident around others and in situations where he doesn't always know what will be happening. This is his 3rd year and each year he comes back more self assured and happily makes decisions for himself.

Crystal Nordholm

They got her to go on a hike!! She never hikes! And she loved it!!

Dee Dee Nuss

Counselors went above and beyond caring for and encouraging the campers. The smiles, the pictures, the different activities are awesome!

Cheri Bjornsrud

Wonderful volunteers, excellent professionals and wide variety of activities. Camp fosters independence for campers and parents who often don't trust others caring for their special need children as well as we would. The excellent counselors, the ratio of campers to staff and volunteers is amazing. The activities are diverse to appeal to all kids.

Melissa Brill

I would emphasize the great way the campers are able to meet new friends, learn how to manage in the community, learn new activities that they don't try at home, learn leadership and most of all gain independence. Your camper gets to be a kid at Adam's camp, just like everyone else. There are no "differences" at camp.

Karen Kullby

Adam's Camp gives children with special needs the opportunity to have the "typical" summer camp experience, in a safe and nurturing environment.

Amy Cawlfield

Take comfort that their child is being well cared for, so relax and enjoy a few days on your own, or with others that may not get as much attention

Bryan Strait

Knowing your child is safe and having fun makes the quiet time an opportunity for renewal and reinvigoration.
