Day Program

Forts and Foraging invites young adventurers to explore the bountiful San Juan region, where nature is brimming with hidden treasures!

This camp is all about connecting with the land and discovering the abundant fruits and resources it has to offer. Throughout the week, campers will pick delicious berries, create art and crafts using natural materials, and construct imaginative structures and shelters from branches, stones, mud, and other primitive materials. With a focus on creativity and exploration, participants will engage in hands-on activities that foster a deep appreciation for the environment. Bring your imagination and get ready to build, learn, and play in the great outdoors! Whether it’s crafting unique creations or constructing forts, this camp promises a week full of fun and adventure in nature!

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.
