Our Camp Families Say it Best

Parents choose to send their children to SPREE camps year after year – and generation after generation – because every day is brimming with engaging outdoor exploration. Read what they love about SPREE and what keeps them coming back.

I tell all my family and friends in other cities about this amazing river and science camp in the heart of Denver. They can hardly believe it and wish their kids had the same opportunity.

Thankful Mom
Parent of SPREE Summer Camper
 

Our kids had an excellent time at their SPREE camps this year. It was a terrific experience for all of us! Thank you for a great summer!

Natalie W.
Parent of SPREE Summer Camper
 

SPREE is hands down (my child’s) favorite camp EVER and she has dedicated a spot in her room specifically to “SPREE Memories.”

Dara H.
Parent of SPREE School Break Camper
 

They always come home having learned quite a lot of good things, about recycling, or invertebrates who live in the South Platte River, or the wildlife around here. They have fun, and it seems to be a nice balance of learning and playing.

Impressed Dad
Parent of SPREE Summer Camper
 

My boys have been talking about SPREE camp for months. When we were looking at all the camps in Denver for this summer, the first camp they shouted out was “SPREE!”

Happy Mom
Parent of SPREE Summer Camper
 

We and our camper LOVED SPREE. She (and we) found the camp to be organized, interesting, and well-run, with excellent communication.

Mary D.
Parent of SPREE Summer Camper
 

I wanted to share that your staff showed great judgment and inspired a high level of trust. You have established a great program, and I am truly grateful for the wonderful communication throughout. Your people totally made the magic!

Jessica K.
Parent of SPREE Summer Camper
 

We wanted to thank you for running such a fantastic program this summer for our son! We have been continually impressed every single day with the curriculum, outdoor time, safety, respect and all that he is learning about the environment.

Keith V.
Parent of SPREE Summer Camper
 

I just want to thank you so much for the opportunity for my son to go to last week summer camp! He had a blast!! So happy you guys have scholarships and make all this experiences available to the community! Thank you so much! Hope to see you again next summer!

It’s my favorite camp and I wish I could come all summer!

(My child) came home excited to share what she learned every day. Thank you and well done! You all did a fantastic job — such great content and the kids were so jazzed every day.

Kate B.
Parent of SPREE Summer Camper
 

When I dropped my daughter off at SPREE this morning, she ran as fast as she could to SPREE HQ out in front of me. I have never seen her act this way about school or a special camp before. She LOVES SPREE Camp, thank you for this opportunity.

Amazed Parent
Parent of SPREE School Break Camper
 

Dad, can I come to SPREE every year? It’s my favorite!

Vivian
SPREE Camper, 6 years old
 

SPREE is my favorite camp. It’s why I come here every time I can!

SPREE Camp is for Students of All Ages

Greenway’s SPREE Camp program is a path from first grade, all the way through college, to learn and grow on the South Platte River. While elementary students are SPREE Campers, older students transform from learners into leaders. SPREE offers middle schoolers who were previous SPREE Campers the opportunity to become Leaders in Training. Finally, all Denver high school and college students can apply for paid Summer River Ranger positions.
