Let your camper experience the wonder of CCO, and the opportunity to benefit from the self-confidence, trust, friendships, fun and memories created by the summer camp experience.
2026 Day Camp Dates will be posted on the "Availability and Registration" webpage in the Fall of 2025.
Information about CCO Day Camp Summer 2026 will be added to this webpage by January 1st, 2026. Day Camp registration is conducted via a lottery. We anticipate opening lottery applications in Febuary for two weeks, with lottery results being released early March.
*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.
2026 Day Camp Prices will be posted on the "Availability and Registration" webpage in late October of 2025.
Scholarships are available for day camp families.
More Information about Day Camp 2026 will be posted in January!
Day Camp is Monday-Friday
*If you need to pick up your camper early, please call the office or let staff know during check-in. We will do our best to have your camper ready to go at the time requested.
For questions, please call the office at 970-887-2648 or e-mail chiefouray@ymcarockies.org.
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.
