Summer Camps

The Colorado Springs School has provided summer camp experiences to children for over 30 years. While we encourage CSS families, in particular, to take advantage of these experiential summer programs, they are open to the public and include a variety of skill-based activities and athletics. A partnership with Go West Camps allows us to offer their summer camp program here on campus.
