The Colorado Springs School has provided summer camp experiences to children for over 30 years. While we encourage CSS families, in particular, to take advantage of these experiential summer programs, they are open to the public and include a variety of skill-based activities and athletics. A partnership with Go West Camps allows us to offer their summer camp program here on campus.

Go West Camps run the 3-week sessions to focus on relationship building and giving campers the opportunity to make friendships, build trust and foster communication skills. Through our activities; biking, paddle boarding, rock climbing, farm and garden, art, and others we help kids to build valuable life skills. Throughout our 3 week sessions we build lots of progression into our programs.
