We have chosen University of Denver to host our summer kids’ computer camps, academic camps and teen camps in Colorado because of the university’s reputation as a highly academic institution. Founded in 1864, the University of Denver is the oldest independent university in the Rocky Mountains. Located in a dynamic, cosmopolitan city close to pristine mountain wilderness, the university is distinguished by its creative combination of liberal arts and professional programs, selectively focused graduate studies, and associated schools and centers.

Getting to Campus: Our specific location on campus at this Colorado summer camp, along with maps and driving directions, will be found in your Camp Account after you register. University of Denver is located just 8 miles south of downtown Denver, 15 miles to the mountains and only 45 minutes from Denver International Airport, making it the perfect Day Camp and Overnight Camp location. Come check out our Colorado summer camps!
