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 experiences, summer programs are open to the public, and include a variety of STEM activities and athletics.
STAY TUNED FOR SUMMER 2022 INFORMATION!

USA Chess is the largest, premiere children's chess camp organizer across the United States, with staff comprised of the finest chess instructors in North America. Under their tutelage, campers of all interest levels – from casual to competitive – experience chess instruction and play in a fun-filled environment designed to improve their skills. Camp options include mornings, afternoons, and all-day sessions, with registration fees providing a trophy, chess set and more.
Challenger Sports, the industry-leading soccer camp company in North America, combines the elements of two existing soccer camp programs – British Soccer and TetraBrazil – into a collection of the most effective practices used by youth teams worldwide. The new Challenger International Soccer Camp reflects the truly global nature of the sport, providing younger players with a variety of coaching styles, practices, and influences to help them develop a well-rounded skill set. Most camps include a free soccer ball, t-shirt, poster, and certificate.
Minecraft has gained popularity due to its collaborative, open-ended and moddable nature. The week-long program begins with a basic tutorial of the game – its controls, recipes, hosting, and networking. Afterwards, campers will connect with different worlds hosted on CSS's secure server to experiment with character skins, mods, and custom maps. By day three, campers build their own rooms, moats, chessboards and more in this Active Learning World that grows over time. The possibilities are endless! As with all game creation options, this camp encourages creativity, storytelling, programming, and problem-solving for young learners.
In this camp, children build a “Platform” game like Sonic or Mario to help their characters overcome obstacles and opponents, and eventually conquer the Big Boss. The character progresses on a long journey, with the background scrolling by as adversaries, prizes and obstacles are encountered along the way. While beginning lessons on the basics are similar to the Arcade course, they later diverge to encompass programming techniques needed to build a Platform game. As with all game creation options, this camp encourages creativity, storytelling, programming, and problem-solving for young minds.
An "Arcade" style game is created with action for each level on one screen, similar to the classics Centipede, Asteroids and PacMan. In this camp, children design a main character from their own imagination, along with other characters, or enemies, who pursue the main character as it dodges their attack. This character can score points by picking up objects and destroying enemy objects. The options are endless, as campers create level after level for a whole week of fun. As with all of our game creation options, this camp encourages creativity, storytelling, programming, and problem-solving for young minds.
