Colorado Day Camp Parent Testimonials
“My kids connected well with the counselors - they trusted them, learned from them, looked up to them. My daughter said Kayla was the best camp counselor she has ever had -- she had new information to share about her every night and is in awe of this strong, confident female role model who shared her love of adventure with my kids.” (Parent of 2023 Boulder Camper)
“This is a camp that we feel great about leaving our children at. The instructors are just a cut above compared to most other camps...you somehow find great people and clearly train them well. This makes a big difference in how I feel about sending my kids. We also love that they are having amazing experiences outdoors....this is more than just childcare.” (Parent of 2024 Boulder Camper)
“My son is a biker but had not mountain biked before. At the beginning of camp he was quite intimidated because he was the youngest in the group. But with that knowledge in hand, the instructors worked with other campers to shore up his confidence and by the end of the first day he was totally in love with mountain biking.” (Parent of 2023 Boulder Camper)
“After the first day of camp, I asked my son if he had made any friends. He replied "At Avid camp you don't just make one friend. You're friends with everyone." It was another wonderful experience at Avid camp!” (Parent of 2024 Valmont Camper)
“I cannot tell you how pleased we were with this program from start to first finish—communication, planning, execution, personnel and programming—just top notch.” (Parent of 2024 Golden Camper)
“My kids are so excited to show off their new biking skills to everyone and want to keep practicing at every opportunity. Learning a new skill is so challenging, and I am so impressed by the skills they learned and the mindset they are developing about trying new things and working through adversity.” (Parent of 2023 Golden Camper)
“Our adventurous kid fell in love with mountain biking. Thanks for supporting all kids, including strong girls! In the words of her coaches, ‘Girls can shred, too!. Such an important message.” (Parent of 2024 Golden Camper)
“We as parents are not mountain bikers and it something our child has developed a love for through AVID. We are grateful to be able to give him this experience. He learns to trust himself and take chances. He learns to push through scrapes and exhaustion and that the fun is worth the effort!” (Parent of 2024 Golden Camper)
“Max remembered my child from a previous session last year and shared at the end of this year's camp how much growth he has seen in my child. It was wonderful to have this feedback and to see my child enjoy camp so much!” (Parent of 2023 Wash Park Camper)
“Both our kids absolutely, positively wanted to be up EARLY to get to camp! Absolutely amazing.” (Parent of a 2024 Wash Park Camper)
“It’s been so fun seeing our son being outside all day and enjoying new sports, nature and friends. He’s so tired when he gets home, we’re loving how quickly he’s falling asleep each night. Thanks for helping him enjoy his 2 weeks exploring Chatfield.” (Parent of 2023 Highlands Ranch Camper)
“Avid gives my kid a chance to try hard things in a safe and relaxed environment. Nothing combats anxiety and diminished self esteem better than taking on a new challenge in a fun and friendly environment with no expectations. The end result is always success, and the joy and pride they feel is unmatched. Thank you Avid counselors for our best year with you all yet!!!” (Parent of a 2024 Highlands Ranch Camper)
