The Amazing Race: Fun Around Denver

Get ready for the ultimate urban adventure with The Amazing Race: Fun Around Denver, a dynamic week-long summer camp designed for young explorers ages 11 to 13. This action-packed experience will combine the excitement of team challenges with practical lessons in mastering Denver's public transportation system. Campers will kick off the week by learning essential navigation skills, including how to read light trail maps and schedules, how to read a city map, and how to use landmarks to help guide them. Once explorers have sharpened their navigation skills, they will be put into teams and sent on daily missions across the Mile High City under the excellent supervision of our faculty and staff. Challenges vary from intricate scavenger hunts through downtown Denver—uncovering hidden history, culture, and landmarks—to competitive outings at a variety of fun venues, which may include visits to parks, putt-putt golf courses, escape rooms, and more. This camp promises an unforgettable week of building independence, fostering teamwork, and exploring Denver like never before. Sack lunch option available for purchase at check-out.
