Day Camp

Applications for the 2025 CCO Day Camp Lottery are CLOSED. We will re-open the application on March 1. At this time, you may apply for day camp sessions. Your camper(s) will be enrolled if there is availability and added to the waitlist if the session is full.

• REMINDER: Campers must be 5 years of age to attend their first day of camp per our Colorado Child Care License.
• The following additional options will be available for the 2025 season:
  • • Horseback Trail Ride: $60, for campers aged 7+. Designed for beginner riders, this will be a 20–30-minute trail ride offered through the CCO Overnight camp barn staff on Thursday mornings. Participants must wear long pants and closed-toed shoes, helmets will be provided.
    • Aerial Adventure Course: $35/camper, for campers who are a minimum height of 4’9”. Run by Snow Mountain Ranch staff and will take place on Friday mornings.  

*Please note that in October of 2024, we merged our CampInTouch systems for Day Camp and Overnight Camp. This means that you will now be able to register for Day Camp, Overnight Camp, and Parents' Night Out using the same system/account.  Your existing login should still work, but please reach out if you need assistance. All paperwork will reset in 2025 and all families will be prompted to re-submit for the 2025 calendar year. 

If you have any questions about the lottery process, please reach out the Program Director, Emma Marshall, at emarshall@ymcarockies.org or 970-887-2152 ext 4144.

Campers enrolled in Day Camp will be split into groups by age. Each of the nine groups will have ten campers and two counselors. You will receive your camper's group assignment when you check-in on the first day of their camp session. 

You may make a group request for up to one other camper  within the Forms and Documents section of your CampInTouch account. Requests should be mutual between campers and should not be more than twelve (12) months apart in age. Requests must be submitted seven (7) days prior to the start of your camper's session. We do not guarantee placement for group requests. Please note that group assignments are not made until the week before your camper's session begins.
