Registration Information for Summer 2022/23

Before Camp:

  • A comprehensive Parent's Handbook containing all of the information you'll need to make day camp preparations easy and manageable. From tips on how to prepare your child for the first-time day camp experience to what items your child will need to bring to day camp each day - Our Parent's Handbook covers everything!

  • Parents of new-comers also appreciate the fact that our office, both onsite and at the Educational Support Center, are always available to answer questions and offer friendly advice. If you have a question, call us. We're here to help!

During Camp:

  • As soon as your young camper arrives in summer day camp he/she is under the care and attention of one of our Staff members. These are child care specialists who work directly with our campers to provide exciting, safe and positive camp experiences.

  • At least 75% of our staff are returning staff members experienced in meeting the needs of first-time day campers.

  • Buffalo Ridge Summer Day Camp is laid back and has a reputation of being a fun, friendly day camp where it's very easy to "fit in".

  • For a day camper to make a smooth transition to life away from home it's imperative that the child be busy throughout the day - morning and afternoon - involved in a program that's dynamic, engaging and a lot of fun. Our staff begins scheduling activities for summer early in the year to ensure that our day campers will get the best possible experiences Colorado has to offer.

After Camp:

  • Last, but definitely not least, Summer Day Camp creates opportunities for lifelong friendships to be formed and a setting for experiences that will last a lifetime.
