Adventure awaits Clear Creek County kids this summer with more than two months of events, hikes and rafting five days a week from June 2 to Aug 1.
Colorado Creek Metropolitan Recreation District has plans for each day for each of three groups: beginner, intermediate and advanced.
According to Interim Director of Child Care Alaina Long, the summer camps are CCMRD’s version of day care for county residents.
“Our goal is to spread the love for the outdoors because we have so much to offer here,” Long said.
Parents can sign up their kids for the day, week or month, however it comes at a cost of $70 a day, no matter the number of days kids attend, according to Long.
The classes start each day at 7:30 a.m. and go until 5:30 p.m.
The advanced and some intermediate hikes will be led by well-known outdoor adventure guide Roray Archibald.
“They’re doing wild tea-making, map-making, they’re doing super gnarly hikes. All the kids adore him (Archibald). He’s such a personality. He’s kind of our resident Sasquatch,” Long said.
Just a few of the events planned include rock climbing, paddleboarding and a trip to Denver Museum of Nature and Science.
Financial aid can be available to some parents if they qualify. To find information on that as well as the complete schedule of daily events, visit ccmrd.funjoin.app.
Parents and kids can pick and choose between events they’re interested in and can sign up for a trip the night before, according to Long.
