Day Camp

Adventure | Relationships | Truth

Ideal for: Kids!      |      Ages: 6 – 14      |      Dates: June 1st – July 31st, 2026

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 6-14, are invited to our fun-filled, action-packed, Christ-centered program that’s loaded with outdoor 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!

Zip Drop

A zip line with the added element of a slight free fall. Special tethers let you drift to the ground like a parachuter coming in for a landing!

Target Town

Put your aim to the test at our newest activity area. Axe throwing, slingshots and archery are just a few cool adventures you'll find at Target Town.

Fly Lines

A fast and beautiful trip through the sky. Start from the top of the Holcomb Building and glide into the forest alongside 5 of your friends!

Snow Tube

Who needs snow to go snow tubing? Not us! Grab a tube and get ready for an invigorating ride!

Mountain Scooters

This ain't your smooth driveway and these things take scootering to a whole new level. Hop on and go for the ride of your life while trying to keep up!

Via Ferrata

It's serious mountaineering without the imminent danger. Ascend cliff faces and negotiate overhangs. You can yodel all the way up... if you can catch your breath.

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.

Super Swing

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

Mountain Bikes

Hop on and go for a spin that will leave you breathless in more ways than one. When you experience a mountainside ride, you’ll know what we mean.

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!

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!

Waterfront

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.

Retail

A place for a quick snack, quality conversations, board games, and kicking your feet up.

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.
