Young explorers will hit the trail every day as we hike through Boulder’s foothills and forests. Our camp offers daily hikes on Boulder’s local trails, giving campers the chance to explore the area’s foothills and open spaces at a comfortable pace. Led by experienced staff, each day focuses on outdoor skills, trail awareness, and enjoying time outside without pressure or distractions. It’s a simple, grounded way for kids to spend their summer moving, learning, and getting to know the landscape around them.
