EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURE AWAITS AT CAMP CB -
CRESTED BUTTE’S HANDS-ON SUMMER CAMP FOR KIDS
Camp CB inspires outdoor exploration and an authentic summer mountain experience 

CRESTED BUTTE, Colo. – May 28 – Experiential vacations are all the rage for adults seeking out-of-the-ordinary getaways. The concept seems a natural fit for kid-friendly experiences, as well, and that’s just what Crested Butte Mountain Resort (CBMR) has in mind. The resort’s Camp CB summer kids program is an authentic experiential adventure opportunity designed just for kids.

Camp CB’s Passport to Adventure encourages exploration and discovery all based around the resort’s mountain location. Programming for kids ages 5 - 12 ranges from Animals of CB – an introduction to facts, tracks and habitats of local critters, and Forest Discovery – exploring and discovering the trees, grasses and wildflowers native to the surrounding backcountry, to Mining of CB – a trip through the past via the mines and miners of Crested Butte, to Clowning Around – relay races, capture the flag, kickball and outdoor fun, and Wild Goose Chase – clue-based scavenger hunts complete with hidden treasure.

The littlest adventurers can also explore the virtues of CBMR via the resort’s Camp CB Nursery (ages 2 months to 4 years). Parents can rest assured their miniature Magellan’s are in expert hands, allowing them to conquer mountains and pursue their own adventures in Crested Butte. Infants (2 to 18 months old) enjoy hands-on care with a two-to-one infant to attendant ration. Toddlers (19 months to 3 years old) begin to explore their world with organized activities, arts and crafts, games, outdoor play (weather permitting) and quiet time. Children with a bit more energy and enthusiasm can sample many of the programs offered in the Passport to Adventure program through Mini Camp (ages 3 to 4 years). The program features activities tailored to the hiking and energy level of this age group, encouraging them to enjoy the mountain environment at their own pace. Mini Camp is a great segue to Camp CB’s Passport to Adventure.

The daily rate for Camp CB Passport to Adventure is $65 and lunch is included. The resort offers a 10-pack option featuring a savings of $200 over the daily rate; the 10-pack is $450.

Camp CB Nursery pricing is $99 for a full day, $75 for a half-day and $25 per hour (lunch is included for toddlers). The Nursery 10-pack is $650 (a savings of $340).
