What is a mobile camp?

Boulder Outdoor Camp operates as a mobile day camp, meaning we do not have a fixed facility. Instead, we designate a Boulder city park as the drop-off and pick-up location for the duration of each camp week. While this location remains consistent throughout the week, it may vary between sessions.

Camp Drop-Off and Pick-Up 

Drop off

Each week, families will receive the designated drop-off and pick-up location at a Boulder city park (South & Central Boulder).

Travel

Campers are dropped off in the morning, and we travel together in 15-passenger vans to that day's outdoor destination.

Pick up

At the end of the day, we return to the same park for pick-up.

How we Travel

Boulder Outdoor Camp operates with 15-passenger vans driven by thoroughly vetted staff, who maintain clean and safe driving records.

  • All drivers and counselors undergo background checks and must have a clean driving record.

  • Each van is staffed with a minimum of two adults to ensure camper safety.

  • While we travel as a group to each site, we may split into smaller groups based on trail difficulty to ensure an age-appropriate and engaging experience.

Longer Travel Days & Camper Experience

For longer trips, van time is an extension of the camp experience. We incorporate:

  • Team-building games to foster friendships and group cohesion.

  • Safety discussions to prepare campers for the day's hike or activity.

  • Team challenges to encourage problem-solving and leadership.
