Discovery Camp

Adventure programs, such as hiking, camping, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, SUPing, rock climbing, mountain biking and archery. All campers will also have opportunities to swim in the pool, do arts & crafts, play gaga ball, dodgeball, capture the flag, basketball, volleyball, pickleball, and other games on the court and in the field, enjoy the creek running through the magical Gnome Village, build a “Nature Boat” to race down the North Fork of the South Platte River, participate in all-camp evening programs including songs, skits and stories around the campfire in fellowship, and much, much s’more!

4-Day Discovery Camp sessions are designed to give campers a taste of all of the programming available at Camp Santa Maria. 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.

*A $25 non-refundable registration fee will be included for each child enrolling in a 2026 session. Children enrolling in more than one session will only be assessed one fee.
