Camp Blue Sky Overnight Camp Camp Blue Sky- 1st to 2nd - 3-Day Overnight

New for 2026! Overnight Mini Camp features a 3-day experience for 1st–2nd graders. It’s the perfect way to introduce campers to a sleepaway adventure.

Each day is packed with adventure sports and intentional activities designed to build confidence, foster friendships, and encourage independence.

  • Upon arrival, campers meet their designated instructors who will lead, camp, and eat with the group.
  • With the supported skilled instructors, campers will dive into age-appropriate adventures—climbing, biking, paddling, and more.
  • Campers also participate in camp traditions and activities, from songs, skits, and games that make Avid4 Overnight Camp magical.

Our goal is for campers to leave having achieved more than they imagined, with new friends and a spark for future adventures.

3 Days of Adventure

Rock Climbing

Mountain Biking

Stand Up Paddleboarding

Confidence Building!

We have great rock climbing right on-site at Camp Blue Sky, offering climbing for all levels across a variety of locations including Chipmunk Mountain, Rowan’s Castle, Baklava Boulder, and Baskin Robbins! Mini campers will learn the basics of commands, equipment, and safety before we teach proper technique and progression as their proficiency grows. 

Grouped by ability level so they’re challenged just the right amount, campers learn the biking techniques. Whether they’re first-time riders or have plenty of biking experience, every camper gets out on our on-site trails and flat ground to practice riding, managing obstacles, gliding, banking, and braking.

A crowd favorite, we teach the fun of stand-up paddleboarding and help campers get comfortable balancing on their board, learn paddle strokes, practice rescue techniques, and play games to better their skills on the water. Stand up paddleboarding is loved by many for its ease of entry, level of challenge, and amazing fun on the water.

Mini campers will be supported in many activities that will build their confidence and independence all in one. With the guidance of their instructors, campers will learn how to live in a shared space with others. This includes making their bunks, keeping their areas clean, being kind and helpful to their cabin mates, and learning how to make new friends along the way! Mini camp is the perfect first step for your camper (and you!) to feel more confident in their adventures to come.

"We wondered what magic the counselors were using on a kid who is usually reserved and unwilling to try something new unless he feels ready. We watched our son's confidence bloom in front of our eyes! That is exactly what we were hoping for from this experience. Camp Blue Sky is a magical place!"
Kate, Parent of 4th Grader

Meet Your Director

Garrett’s first camp experience was in 2014, when he went out on a whim to work at a summer camp outside of his home city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. That decision led to falling in love with camp and a five-year progression from a group counselor to the Program Director for YMCA Camp Edwards.  After earning his B.A. in Secondary English Education from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, he felt compelled to reenter the outdoor education space, leading Garrett back to camp to serve a program for individuals with disabilities and chronic illnesses in the heart of Texas, then to leading an experiential education backpacking program in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, and ultimately to Avid4 Adventure to join the leadership at Camp Blue Sky formerly known as Mt. Evans in 2019.  While planning to return in 2020, the pandemic led him to pivot into the privilege to help lead at TGHTR, a youth homeless shelter program in Boulder County. Through all of these experiences and more, Garrett has been in awe at the resilience and empowerment that young folks discover in themselves while overcoming challenges in collaboration with others in the outdoors. These transformative lessons has led Garrett back to Avid4 where he is excited to lead and learn alongside our campers and continue this work at Mt. Evans. When Garrett isn’t working, you can find Garrett exploring with friends, hiking the backcountry with his dog Marvin, cheering for his beloved Packers, and engaging in life talks around a campfire.

WE TAKE SAFETY SERIOUSLY

While no outdoor adventure is totally risk-free, we work hard to keep your kids safe. Every activity starts with a discussion about the risks involved -- what they are, how to prevent them, how to respond if something goes wrong -- so kids learn how to approach challenges with intelligence and skill.
