CAMP BRIGHTON
Brighton’s summer camps make the mountains the best place to be. Campers escape the valley heat and spend their days hiking, searching for geocaches, making art, and playing games.
They’ll learn about mountain ecosystems, explore watersheds, and take on hands-on projects that keep them moving and engaged. With team sports like archery, frisbee golf, and relay races—plus plenty of time to just enjoy the outdoors—it’s a solid mix of fun and exploration.
With options for all ages and skill levels, it’s the perfect way to stay outside, stay active, and enjoy summer in the mountains.
Camp Themes
Campers each week will have unique opportunities to learn through focused nature walks, scavenger hunts, and hands on learning opportunities throughout the Week. Our different Camp session themes will help us to build and direct the focus for that week at camp!

Campers will explore what makes Brighton unique through games, discovery and discussions led by counselors and staff members. Campers will learn and compete as teams and groups to experience a number of activities and challenges including options such as archery, fishing frisbee golf, relay races, kickball, and more!
S.T.E.M Camp
Through STEM week your camper will learn and explore through daily science experiments or activities which will help them develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of our natural world! While also participating in camp games and team building activities, STEM Campers will also work together to ask and answer questions to learn through experimentation and engineering projects.
