“He really had a great time at camp once again! He is still talking about it!!! Even after the other camps he went to he says that the most fun is Adam’s Camp!!!! I have to agree, just by how he reacts on the way home and once he gets home!!! It is still the highlight of his summer.”
- Testimonial from an Adventure Camp Parent
Our Adventure Camp program is a week-long sleep away program held at YMCA of the Rockies – Snow Mountain Ranch.
This program provides an experience that is full of fun, challenge and adventure! Campers enjoy activities that expand social horizons, increase constructive risk-taking, and provide the opportunity to develop the courage to try new things while increasing independence and confidence.
Parents, watch your child participate in daily adventures such as ziplining, archery, river rafting on the Colorado river, alpine slide rides, horseback riding, swimming, hiking/nature walks, wall climb, campfires, and cabin games, all culminating in a camp-wide dance at the end of the week. Don’t leave the siblings behind, they can come too! Adam’s Camp is well equipped to handle all your children. Brothers and sisters get their own choice of exciting activities at our Adventure Camp.
The number of experienced counselors and volunteers per small group size allows for individualized relationships with each camper. Two experienced counselors and four teen volunteers act as mentors and provide assistance with daily living skills for ten children. Campers, staff, and volunteers stay in family-style cabins.
Adventure campers must be mobile and enjoy group activities. This program is designed for youth and young adults with mild to moderate special needs, primarily in association with autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy and Down syndrome. This program may not be a match for those whose primary diagnosis is an emotional, behavioral, or psychiatric disorder.
