Fortropolis

Day Program
|
AGES 7-9

Get ready for an epic adventure in the wild! In Fortropolis, we’re taking fort building to a whole new level. Whether you’re stacking branches, gathering stones, or crafting shelters from the materials nature provides, this camp is all about getting your hands dirty and your imagination running wild. Every day, we’ll explore the great outdoors, learning survival skills and discovering how pioneers, hunters, and animals built their homes in the wild.

Alongside our fort-focused fun, we’ll round out the week with classic Telluride Academy adventures—tapping into creativity through art projects, hitting the water for SUP’ing and boating, and scaling new heights during rock climbing sessions.

Armed with tools, creativity, and teamwork, we’ll challenge ourselves to create the most ingenious forts and shelters, putting our skills to the test in a fun-filled competition. It’s time to unleash your inner builder—bring your A-game, a sense of adventure, and let’s create some unforgettable structures!

A detailed daily itinerary will be provided to you on the Monday morning of the program.

Telluride Academy's Overnight Policy

Our talented instructors work hard to combat student homesickness on overnight programs. For many students, this experience might be their first time camping or away from home! In the days leading up to the overnight(s), the instructors have positive conversations with the groups to get them excited and prepared for their overnight adventures. This dynamic gets interrupted when a student is picked up early from their overnight. For this reason, we can not accommodate early pick-ups, unless in the case of an emergency. If your child does not want to attend the overnight, or if you have prior commitments that require early pick-up accommodations, we ask that you consider choosing a day program instead. Please call our office with any questions or concerns.
