One of the best camps in the Country The staff is unbelievable and the opportunities for growth and development for kids is endless
This family owned and operated camp is a unique and transformative experience for kids. It's a non competitive camp focused on backpacking and the outdoors. Along the way the kids become great friends and learn to support one another with empathy and love. It's not unusual for parents to travel across the country to send their kids here based on their own experiences at the camp growing up.
CSC is a magical place that fosters human development through an environment that feeds the imagination, encourages personal growth, and nourishes the soul (and belly--love that Nancy Bread!). I cannot think of a better experience to gift to someone than to share the wonder and joy of the Red Creek Valley. The memories and relationships I formed there will forever hold a special place in my heart.
CSC is one of the best summer programs out there. A place where kids can be kids, in a non-competitive atmosphere, and experience the beauty of nature and outdoors. the program is fun, challenging, and rewarding. As a camper for 7 years and a staff member for 6, my experience at CSC was invaluable, and I have memories that I will carry with me for life. This summer program is well worth it!
Both my son and daughter have been attending Colvig for the past 4 summers. It is their favorite place in the world. I love it because they have incredible experiences (like peaking 14-ers) and are free of any devices or electronics for 4 whole weeks. They have made lifelong friendships. My son's self-esteem is always at its peak after Colvig. Highly recommend!
Both of my daughters have attended CSC for years, and I was a camper there myself years ago. It's a magical place! They create a wonderful balance between challenging kids to push themselves on trips, and creating a place where kids can just have fun, be silly & creative, and be themselves while in camp. It's a great way for kids to unplug from technology, spend their days out of doors, make new friends and experience some incredibly beautiful natural surroundings. I've experienced many different camps, and none come close to CSC!
Colvig Silver Camps is my boys' favorite place. They love it so much that they have gone back every summer for 8 years and can't wait until they can go again. Stories and memories dribble out all through the year. And each year they return from camp, we can see the growth in their character and confidence. The places they get to go to are stunningly beautiful. They've made such good friends that several of them text each other throughout the year. Their love for the outdoors is real and the skills they have learned are now being used to plan their own adventures. The in-camp activities, especially the themed-special days, are imaginative and full of crazy fun activities. And importantly, they have always loved their counselors and the staff and meals and songs...well, you get the idea. This is a special place.
I have gone there for 7 years and is one of the best places I know. Going to CSC changed my life
