Where are my campers going?

The week's locations will be available during the camp week and will be posted every day at your camper's group. Additionally, you can reference our 'Where is my camper?' binder at our front-of-camp table any day of the week. 

Why not tell me now?

We permit with many land managers throughout the region and while things are finalizing for the camp season, we make small adjustments throughout the summer to account for environmental changes, trail closures, or land manager cancellations. We want to give you information that is accurate for your camper and that's best presented at camp. If you have questions about recreation areas frequently used with this location, please call Customer Support at 720-249-2412. 

Camp Group Assignments

You can check your camper's group assignment on your Active Account 10 days prior to camp. 

Camp group assignments will be emailed to families 10 days before the camp starts. We will do our best to accommodate all mutual friend requests.

Please note: If you register within 14 days before the camp start date, we cannot guarantee friend requests. Thank you for your understanding.  

Where to Meet Your Instructor

Follow Avid4 Adventure Flags to the main meeting area and meet your instructors at their group sign.

Gear 

For Mountain Biking Camps Only: We require campers to bring their own bikes for camp. If your camper does not have a bike, we have some available to rent for $50 for the week. You can add this to your camper's registration through your Active Account
