Summer Camp kidsSummer Camp-NOW ENROLLING
Looking for a fun and safe way for your child to spend their summer? Commerce City summer camps are the place! Children and teens enjoy a variety of activities including arts and crafts, games, team-building activities, swimming, field trips, and more. We maintain low child to staff ratios while providing a safe and friendly environment.

There are separate camps for 6-10 and 11-15 year olds  and camp runs from 7 a.m. - 6 p.m. June 3 - August 2. Register for all or individual weeks. Space is limited, so enroll early!

New in 2013
  • Attend a licensed, partial-week camp. Teens have the option of a Monday through Friday or Tuesday through Thursday camp (Second Creek only). The recreation center camp is available five days a week.
  • Smaller full-day day licensed camp for ages 6-10 year olds. The camp is limited to 20 children to ensure smaller group activities and specialized programs,
  • Weekly half-day unlicensed specialty clubs for ages 6-10 year olds (this means no enrollment forms needed). Weeks and days vary due to the theme and skills taught.
