“RMDC is worth it. My kids have gone for years. The counselors are amazing. Think old fashioned day camp- sports/games/sing-offs/dance offs. One year my kids declined all other opportunities- they wanted RMDC all summer. “
-Shaun and Annabel – Camp parents

Daily Schedule
*Campers bring their own lunch. Rocky Mountain Day Camp provides a morning and afternoon snack to all campers.
The above schedule is representative of a regular day at camp. Pool days, Wacky Wednesdays, Color War and other special events may have modified schedules. The daily schedule and upcoming events are posted each day for parents to view when they drop off their camper.
Camper Groups
At Rocky Mountain Day Camp children spend their day in a small group with other campers who are the same grade and gender. Groups share a “bunk” where they keep their personal belongings and spend “bunk time” together. Each group has their own counselors who accompany them throughout the day to ensure total supervision, safety and guidance. Bunks develop their own sense of community, cooperation and pride. Each group has their own personalized schedule of activities daily. The whole camp eats lunch together and there are several all-camp activities where bunks may combine for a multitude of activities.
“My granddaughter has been going for 5 years. Her mom said the day before camp started this year, she couldn’t sleep because she was so excited. They teach teamwork and acceptance…it’s great!”
– Pamela, Camp grandma
Special Programs and Surprises
Special events, surprises and all-star guest appearances occur throughout the summer. Rocky Mountain Day Camp campers never know what kinds of things can happen in any given day, week or session. We would love to tell you what some of these activities are, but you will have to wait and hear about them from your camper!
Wacky Wednesday
Wednesdays at camp are like no other day! Each Wednesday one-of-a-kind activities are presented by our dedicated and creative RMDC staff. Campers have the opportunity to choose one of these unique activities during this time. Favorite Wacky Wednesday activities have included: Rocky Mountain Day Spa, Survivor, Mission Impossible, Baking and much more! The possibilities are endless!
Carnival
Carnival is the ultimate all-camp event and something our campers look forward to each summer! Get your face painted. Try to hit a giant target at the football toss. Pop a balloon with your bow and arrow. Throw a pie at your favorite counselor’s face. Campers enjoy their very own carnival without ever leaving camp.
Color War
Each session campers eagerly await the infamous Color War breaks. “Are you Green or are you White,” can be heard all throughout camp as campers compete in many events and are led by our Staff Captains. Color War culminates with the Sing in which each team performs the Camp Cheer, Team Cheer, Camp Clap, as well as our Rocky Mountain Day Camp Song in front of a panel of camp judges.The RMDC Color War trophy is ceremoniously awarded to the winning team. The trophy comes with its own bragging rights, but only until the next Color War begins!
“My husband and I are so grateful for the experience B. had at RMDC. The experience of childhood camp is what you offered to him. The activities were introduced in an experimental manner that fully engaged his young group rather than create competition. The variety of activities reached each child’s special interest so each child could shine while introducing other areas of interest. The staff was respectful, warm and involved and the director was open to all parent discussion, always on site and greeted each child by name and with a big smile that said to them they were important. We thank you for this childhood memory; a beautiful imprint for B. He already talks about going again next summer.”
– Nancy and Clay, Camp parents
