Two weeks allows for campers to feel truly at home by the second week, with deepening connections to camp friends, and the ability to try everything Camp Santa Maria has to offer.

Kids attending a Discovery Camp session will be given the opportunity to try all of the adventure programming available and get basic instructions to increase their comfort and spark an interest in the opportunities for recreation available in Colorado’s beautiful mountains. The Discovery Camp sessions are intended for children who want a fun, exciting camp experience, but may be a little uncertain about the longer camp sessions, or which activities they’re most interested in.
Kits & Cubs, 3-Day Intro to Camp (K-3rd Grade): $499
- August 2nd – 4th, 2026
Kits & Cubs, our 3-Day “Intro to Camp” session is intended to serve as a taste of summer camp for younger children still getting used to the idea of sleeping away from home. The 3 days will be packed full of activities that will appeal to kids of all types, and will include songs, s’mores, and everything that makes camp the magical, transformative experience that it is. The 3-Day programs will be led by staff who understand these campers need an especially nurturing environment whose camp attendance alone may be a major step out of their comfort zone.
Tuition Assistance Information
