Go West Camps operates seasonal day camps and out-of-school-time programs in Colorado Springs, running multiple summer locations and grouping school-age campers by the grade they will enter in fall.






Go West Camps runs summer day camps with multiple three-week sessions and operates from several home-base locations in Colorado Springs. Summer 2026 is organised in three sessions (Session 1: June 1 - June 19; Session 2: June 22 - July 10; Session 3: July 13 - July 31) and the typical camp day is 8 am - 5 pm. Programs are structured for school-age children and groups are organised by the grade campers will enter in the fall.
Daily programming focuses on outdoor pursuits and hands-on skills: examples listed include mountain biking, rock climbing, stand-up paddle boarding, gardening, art and cooking. Activities are delivered progressively so campers can build skills over sessions. The Adventurers unit may be offered an overnight excursion week with outdoor trips and river activities; the site indicates meals and high-quality gear are provided for that add-on.
Staffing is organised around small-group supervision (groups of about 10–12 campers with two counselors) and the organisation provides pre-season and in-service trainings, including First Aid and CPR certifications; state and federal criminal background checks are completed for staff. The program is accredited by the American Camp Association and licensed by the Colorado Department of Human Services, Division of Childcare.
