When shopping for the perfect ski real estate in Vail, Colorado, plan something special for each person in the entire family. Let the kids choose to go to camp in the Rocky Mountains. While your children frolic in the fun of attending camp, the staff at AllVailListings.com will show you the best Vail real estate available that is suited to your family’s needs.
At camp, the kids will make friends, learn skills, and can submerge themselves into the magnificent environment around the village near Vail CO homes. Pinecone by pinecone, one wildflower at a time, they will discover why you want a primary or second home in Vail Valley. They could choose to attend a ski intensive, explore the Glenwood Caverns, camp overnight and go rafting. Possibly one child would prefer whispering to a special horse and another simply wants to learn baseball or volleyball with a coach from Colorado State University. Whatever they choose, the experience will be refreshing and invigorating.
There are camps specializing in sports, recreation, wilderness experiences, the three Rs, ecology and nature with top-rated programs and talented staff that are making a positive impact on the lives of children. Some programs run one or two weeks a year, others are one day a week, and still others may be one-time opportunities.
Beginning with a long list of programs offered by the Vail Recreation District, we would highlight some of the options in town. Sports camps in the summer include Rocky Mountain Volleyball Camp, Rocky Mountain Baseball Camp, Back 2 Basics All-Star Basketball Academy, Major League Soccer Camp, Skyhawks Lacrosse Camp, and for the little ones a Mini-Hawk Sports Training Camp that explores soccer, baseball, and basketball—all for fun—during a day camp.
