Camp Vail

June 10 - August 16 | Ages: 5 (And Entering K) to 12

Vail’s premier day camp invites children to experience Vail’s unique alpine setting. Campers tailor their day by choosing from various sports, art and science activities or special outings. Camper to Counselor ratio is typically 12 to 1 or better and never exceeds 15 to 1.

Camp Vail is fully licensed by the Colorado Department of Human Services Division of Child Care.

Camp Vail activities include gym games, outdoor games, park play, arts & crafts, science experiments, sports, and field trips (TBD).

Registration Prioritization Info 

These priority registration levels DO NOT APPLY for summer sports camps (baseball, volleyball, soccer, track and field, lacrosse, sports training, basketball, cheerleading, flag football, tennis, pickleball, golf, gymnastics and hockey).
Registration for summer day camps in Amilia at the link on the right will be prioritized according to the following categories:

  • Level 1 Access: Eagle County Student (full-time resident) AND Eagle County workforce
  • Level 2 Access: TOV property homeowner OR Eagle County workforce
  • All-Access: Everyone

As we continue to see short supply and high demand for childcare in the Vail Valley, the Community Programming staff made the decision to prioritize registration to support local working parents. These parents rely heavily on our summer day camps, so that they may go to their jobs and provide important services in Vail and beyond.

2024 Day Camp Registration Dates:

  • Level 1 opens Saturday, April 6 at 10 a.m. MST
  • Level 2 opens Monday, April 8 at 10 a.m. MST
  • All Access opens Wednesday, April 10 at 10 a.m. MST

Documentation Needed for Level 1 or 2 Access (you will upload this when submitting your paperwork in Amilia, our registration software)

  • If your child is an Eagle County student: Student ID
  • If you work in Vail or in Eagle County: Recent pay statement (from one parent)
  • If you are a TOV property homeowner: Have an address with appropriate name on the Eagle County assessor website, or upload documentation showing ownership.
  • Please note: ONE address may be used by ONE nuclear family (if owned by grandparents or an LLC). Fractional ownership does not suffice. Reminder: this is needed only by VRD homeowners who are NOT a part of the Eagle County workforce.
