When my daughter was five she was obsessed with zoo animals of all kinds. Her greatest thrill was going to Denver Zoo Camp. It was her chance to hold snakes, bearded dragons and hedgehogs – never understanding why we couldn’t have them at home. There she met other children who were as obsessed with animals as she was (almost).
Gifted and creative students can have passionate interests and wild imaginations. Summer is a great time to feed and nourish those interests.
This summer Mackintosh Academy is launching a set of great camps for gifted and creative kids ages 5-14 – offering full roster for children who love to go fast, dive deep, ask big questions, get messy and have a lot of fun with their “tribe.”
Camps range from Camp Invention to Chess Club, Dragons to Druidawn, Sticky Fingers Cooking to Sports & Science Camp.
They will be held on both Mackintosh Boulder and Littleton Campuses. Both campuses boast beautiful outdoor spaces. Boulder’s camps will take full advantage of its 23 acre campus – complete with pond, creek, grove and large outdoor play spaces.
