Getting Here

Our priority is the safety of the children we have been entrusted with. Per Colorado Child Care Laws, we cannot release campers to anyone without first checking identification and matching it with the child’s paperwork. Before we check IDs, we will keep the children safe on the bus, and we cannot allow anyone on the bus, regardless of the weather. We ask our parents to be patient as we follow safety protocols.

Bus transportation is offered on each session’s opening and closing day at the Jefferson County Government Center RTD Station - Kiss n Ride. Two staff members will accompany the campers on the bus.

On opening day, SUNDAY, check-in for the bus begins at 11:30 a.m. MST and the bus leaves at noon.

On closing day, SATURDAY, the bus arrives between 12:15 and 12:30 p.m. MST. 

Mini Camp ONLY: On closing day, the bus arrives between 6:30 and 7:00 PM. 

The camp office will contact you if bus transportation times and location changes occur. Please call the office within 10-days of your camper’s arrival with changes, additions, or cancellations of bus services.

Please contact the CCO office at least three weeks before your camper's arrival to add Airport Transportation. Detailed flight information for your camper must be in the office 10-days before your camper’s arrival. It is a requirement that all parents of campers arriving and or departing through Denver International Airport (DIA) call the camp office one week before your camper’s flights to confirm flight information, any changes, and final instructions.

• Campers MUST have a photo I.D and a ticket (MUST carry a copy of the e-ticket if not a paper ticket).

Airport Arrivals

Campers arriving at Denver International Airport (DIA) should arrive between 10:00 a.m. & 2:00 p.m. MST on the day your session begins. Our staff can ONLY accompany your camper to and from their arrival/departure gates if they are 12 and under and you have paid the round trip accompanied minor fee. CCO Staff is only allowed to meet campers who have not paid for accompanied minor at the top of the escalator on LEVEL 5 (Baggage Claim Level). Directions are as follows: Upon leaving the plane at the gate in DIA, follow the electronic signs overhead to “Baggage Claim/Terminal” along Concourse A, B, or C to the escalator going down to the Train Level. The train will take you to the baggage claim and main terminal. De-board the train at the prompt, “Baggage Claim / Terminal.” Proceed up the escalator to Level 5. Remain here (do not proceed alone to luggage carousels), and our staff member with staff shirt, nametag, and I.D. will be at the designated pick-up location at the top of the escalator. Once we have greeted your camper, we will proceed to the baggage claim.

Airport Departures

All campers departing by plane will leave camp on Saturday morning. All departure flights should be between noon & 3:00 p.m. MST on Saturday. Our staff will accompany your camper to the airline check-in counter, and if your camper is 12 and under, our staff will accompany your camper to their gate until they board their flight. For campers over 12, our staff will accompany your camper to the check-in counter and remain with them until they proceed to the main security area. Campers who will not be accompanied move through the main security area and down the escalator to the train and board at the prompt. They will de-board the train on the appropriate concourse by following the train’s voice prompt and continuing to their departure gate. Departure gates are marked. There are arrival/departure screens on each concourse that your unaccompanied camper should check and ensure that their gate assignment and departure time received at their airline check-in counter is still correct.
