Colorado Academy has offered summer activities for metro area youth since 1951. Young people come from as far as Castle Rock, Evergreen and Parker, and a sizeable number of them are not students at Colorado Academy during the academic year. Summers at CA are much less formal. There is plenty of time for fun while being challenged either intellectually, physically, or both. A top-notch staff conducts all of the programs. Two full-size gymnasiums, five large playing fields, eight tennis courts, a baseball diamond, dozens of classrooms, a theater, a dining hall, four computer labs, spacious studio arts workrooms, a facility for vocal and instrumental music and a photography studio provide ample facilities for exciting and sophisticated programs. With a wide variety of offerings from computers to circus, day camp to lacrosse, rock climbing to photography, computer graphics to digital music, truly, there is something at CA in the summer for every school-age individual.  

Colorado Academy is a nonprofit, independent, college preparatory school for students in grades pre-K through twelve, offering nonsectarian education and summer opportunities to any qualified student regardless of national origin, race or religion. Special needs children are considered on an individual basis.
