The Colorado Springs School has been providing summer camp experiences for more than 30 years. All programs are open to the public, and we encourage CSS families to take advantage of these experiential education programs. Camps include a wide variety of STEM activities and athletics.

The Rocky Mountain Soccer Camp
(RMSC) is the longest running soccer camp in the nation, started in 1971
by Artie Wachter. The current Camp Director is Mark Perdew, who has
been running the RMSC since 1992. Various camp programs include
Mini-Camps, Day Camps, Team Camps and Residential Camps.
The RMSC
experience goes far beyond the soccer field. We use the camp as a
vehicle for teaching valuable “life lessons” such as integrity,
sportsmanship, discipline and responsibility, while at the same time
providing a high level of soccer training and education.
Our goal
is to provide a fun, safe and creative environment that promotes the
integrity of the game of soccer and is both educational and challenging.
Our staff uses innovative methods to teach the game in a way that
allows for enjoyment, easy understanding and quick improvement.

Minecraft is hugely popular because it is a collaborative, open-ended, and moddable program. Our program promotes those qualities for a week of fun! The week begins with learning the game, controls, recipes, and a bit about hosting & networking. Next, campers are connecting to different worlds hosted on our secure server and experimenting with character skins, mods, and custom maps. By day three, the kids are building in the Active Learning World that grows over time. Whether adding a room, building a moat, or even creating a chessboard, the possibilities are nearly limitless. As with all of our game creation options, this camp encourages creativity, storytelling, programming, and problem solving for their young minds.
In this camp, children build a game described as a “platform” game like Sonic or Mario. Children have a blast as their characters overcome obstacles and opponents and then conquer the Big Boss. The character progresses on a long path/journey with the background scrolling behind it as adversaries, prizes, and obstacles are encountered along the way. Lessons on the basics will be similar to the Arcade course in the very beginning, but the class diverges, and different programming techniques are taught in order to build this Platform game. As with all of our game creation options, this camp encourages creativity, storytelling, programming, and problem solving for their young minds.
The Arcade course is a program where the game that is created has action for each level all on one screen, similar to Centipede, Asteroids, or PacMan. The children create a main character, which can be anything their imagination can think of. Other characters, or enemies, pursue the main character who dodges their attacks. The character will score points for picking up objects and destroying the enemy objects. Options are endless, and children 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 their young minds.
