School Break Camp
Keep kids engaged and learning on days when school is off. SPREE School Break Camps are a great way to spend days having fun while learning about our local ecosystems outdoors. School Break Camps take place at Johnson Habitat Park, and is perfect for families who want to try out our program before attending summer camp.
Camp Structure
SPREE Camps are educational, outdoor, and active programs. Education will be hands-on and engaging, but will require listening, respect, and cooperation by campers. Structured lessons will be broken up by snacks, free-time, quiet time, and other activities.
While we do have indoor facilities, we are outdoors in all sorts of weather at SPREE camps. Please dress for the changing Colorado climate. We will adjust location or structure of activities, if needed.
Camp runs from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm.
Please note 3:30 – 4:30 pm requires an additional after care fee.

Camp Policies & Guides
SPREE is hands down (my child’s) favorite camp EVER and she has dedicated a spot in her room specifically to "SPREE Memories."
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.
SPREE is my favorite camp. It’s why I come here every time I can!
