Day Camp

Adventure

Ideal for: Kids!      |      Ages: 6 – 13      |      Dates: June 3rd – July 26th, 2024

Fun. Adventure. Learning. Friendship.

Available for our local kids for a limited time this summer!

Day Camp is a 5-day camp experience unlike any other! Kids, ages 6-13, are invited to our fun-filled, action-packed, Christ-centered program that’s loaded with activities and learning experiences.

Have them spend a day with us and they’ll want to come back!

You know the sort of things your kids always want to go do? Well, we’ve got them! And your kids will need more than a day to take in everything Glorieta Camps has to offer. Fortunately, we love to have them back day after day – all summer long, if you want.  Days spent here will be days to remember for the rest of their life.

At Glorieta Day Camp, kids create lifelong memories as they encounter God’s creation, God’s word, and embark on the adventures and memories of a lifetime. Because they’re able to go home at the end of the day, it’s a great way to ease kids into the camp experience. New Friends. Real Adventures. God’s Truth. We can’t wait to meet your child and introduce them to the wonder of camp!

Rock Climbing

If you're a thrill seeker who'd like to feel a little "boulder", we accommodate all skill levels in many different climbing styles.

Archery Tag

Equipped with padded arrows and bow on an extensive wooded course full of secret hide-outs, bring your opponents down in a classic game of TAG and many other competitions!

Drift Trikes

Sliding sideways on a Big Wheel made for some serious street cred back in the day. Well, we've amped it up.

Mud Pit

Grit your teeth for an untethered free-for-all. Here's mud in your eye... and between your toes... and behind your ears.

Redneck Paintball

Think paintball with slingshots. Don't let the name fool you, your neck is well protected. Your pride, however, is not. Think fast! They come at you from all sides.

Super Swing

With full-body harnesses and an entire team required to run this swing, there's a reason we call it "super!"

Terrain Park

Whether you're a newbie or a BMX pro, a lap around our berms and jumps is sure to give you an adrenaline rush.

Crate Stacking

It turns out, a pile of milk crates can be quite the challenge! It takes balance, focus, and strategy to build as you climb higher and higher. Bet you can't make it to 20.

Slingshots

These are no toys, but they are a lot of fun. We may not be slaying giants, but you will get good target practice.

Mini Golf

If putting around is your thing, we have the perfect way to pass an afternoon. This classic family sport is best under the pines, with a nice summer breeze.

Field Games

Guaranteed to break the ice. This is camp-olympics! From scavenger hunts to more inventive contests, you're sure to make a few new friends along the way.

Ga-Ga Ball

Ga-ga wha? Part dodge ball, part tag and part King of the Hill, it takes action to another level. Rule the octagon!

Blacklight Dodgeball

Variations on the classic game, kicked up a notch. From free-for-alls to zombie matches, dodgeball under the glow of these lights can be trickier than you think.

Arbor Climb

Tree climbing on a whole different level.

Wilderness Hiking

From short hikes with a view, to longer journeys winding through National Forest trails, adventure is out here!

Arts & Crafts

From pine-cone pets to classic friendship bracelets, creativity of all forms are welcome here!

Sand Volleyball

For classic games of 2-on-2 to 50-player Nuke 'Em, we have sandy courts for everyone to enjoy!

Foam Pit

Hundreds of foam blocks to jump into, dive through, and hide in!

Sports Courts

There's nothing better than a game of high altitude hoops. Or how about a match of mountain tennis? This is the place!

Bouldering Blocks

Brand new to rock climbing? These colorful blocks are just right for learning the basics and getting the 'hang' of climbing without getting too far off the ground.

Gypsy Wagon

This colorful little wagon is a mobile store loaded with treats, t-shirts, and other knick-knacks!

Waterfront Decks

Decks rigged with rope swings, water zip lines, monkey bars, water slides, and more! We've got plenty to keep you busy staying cool in our Waterfront.

Inflatables

From epic Wipeout-style obstacles to King of the Hill with a wrecking ball, we've got all the classic inflatables along with some you've never seen!

Adventure Upgrades are a way for us to keep the cost of camp low for everyone while also offering extra adventures to those who want them. We offer one package for Day Camp: “Whitewater Rafting Trip“. See details below and if you would like to add it, just be sure and choose the option during the Sign Up process.

WHITEWATER RAFTING

It’s like navigating a torrent of liquid adrenaline while being yelled at to paddle harder, faster, this way and that – or else – you’re going swimming involuntarily. Suddenly the reason for the helmets and life jackets becomes crystal clear to you. This couldn’t be more fun!To add this to your camp experience, choose this option during the Sign Up process.

Additional Fee – $55 Per Person

Parents appreciate fun exposure to faith

“Excellent experience. We are non-Christian belief system in both of their homes (mom’s house and dad’s house separate), and feel that this is very positive exposure for Lauren and Brooke, so that they may choose faith path that resonates with them. It provokes deeper questions and self introspection, in a non-threatening and fun way that is age appropriate for them. Thanks!”

Erica counts down the days

“Erica has had a calendar made crossing off days these last couple of months until camp. Last week she said, ‘I just want it to be Monday!’”  Erica also told her mom that she knows God changes her here.

Getting ready for camp.

Here’s your field guide for ultimate Day Camp preparedness.
