WHAT TO EXPECT | CAMP SPIRIT COLORADO

CAMP GOALS


Try a New Winter Experience

We work with trained recreational teams that understand how to adapt equipment and make activities safe.


Build Camaraderie

This is a warm and supportive environment where children can be themselves and have fun with others who are just like them. 


Gain Confidence and Independence

The diverse staff works to ensure that campers are learning to advocate for themselves and help direct their own care.


ACCOMMODATIONS

YMCA OF THE ROCKIES/SNOW MOUNTAIN RANCH
1101 COUNTY ROAD 53, GRANBY, CO

THE CENTENNIAL CABIN
We will be staying together in one large cabin.

ROOM ASSIGNMENTS: Upon your arrival, your camper will be assigned a welcome buddy to help them unpack and get settled into their room. There will be 2-3 campers in each room – each room has its own bathroom. The Medical Staff will occupy the rooms on the bottom floor, closest to the camper’s rooms.

VACCINATION POLICY

These guidelines are in place so that we can maintain a safe camp for everyone.


TECHNOLOGY POLICY

We allow technology devices (iphones/ipads, Nintendo switch, etc.) to be used during camp; however, we believe in the responsible use of these technology including adhering to the acceptable use principles:

  • Calling home/parents to say hello and keep in touch (as necessary)
  • Playing games that are collaborative with other campers
  • Taking pictures/videos to capture the moment/memory
  • Taking some downtime/alone-time to decompress or if needed to relax prior to bedtime
  • Watching videos/shows during bandage changes as an aid to pain management

Our goal is to keep the campers engaged with each other throughout their time at camp in order to build camaraderie, gain confidence and independence.  If we believe a camper is not following these Technology Principles, we will work with them to limit screentime accordingly.
