Just 20 miles from Boulder, Colorado, we provide children ages with outdoor adventures, resilience-nurturing experiences, support from a welcoming camp community and countless moments of fun and silliness in the heart of the Indian Peaks Wilderness Area.
We strongly encourage parents and guardians to drop off and pick up overnight campers, so that families can see the property and meet staff; bussing is provided to and from camp for day camp. In , the Y held day camps at Camp Tumbleson Lake, and in , we are thrilled to launch overnight camps at this picturesque lakeside mountain escape.
Campers will grow their skills and knowledge while connecting with the camp community and building confidence β and of course, having a mountain of fun. We have options for campers ages 6 to 17, providing age-appropriate experiences that welcome and help kids and teens foster confidence, independence and resilience. From day camps and our Explorers mini camp for first time campers to traditional camps to teen expedition and leadership programs, we have something for every camper.
Our new camp is perfectly set up to provide campers with the ultimate summer experience: hiking, mountain biking, climbing, watching sunsets, paddling on the lake, creating art, hitting a bulls eye, bouncing through our lake-top obstacle course and roasting marshmallows by the campfire.
Songs, chants and dance parties included! Children and teens are given opportunities to take risks in a safe environment and with a community to support them along the way. From adventure camps that take campers through rugged wilderness to our leadership and counselor-in-training programs that give teens a chance to guide others, camp is a powerful way to provide young adults with mentorship opportunities, confidence-building exercises and real-life experience.
