From our traditional events such as the Memorial Days festivities, our 4th of July Weekend, and Music Under the Stars, we are also dedicated to bringing you weekly free activities that are fun for the whole family. These will be available every week from Memorial Day to Labor Day. I would like to highlight the Wind-Down Wednesday’s, weekly at the Recreation Pool from 5PM – 8PM, with games and specials from our culinary team.
This year, our summer camps bring a variety of activities and we are pleased to introduce three new camps, Mission to Mars Camp, Colorado Springs Adventure Camp, and an offering through Pikes Peak Athletics, Swimming Camp. Swimming lessons are returning and will be available at the Recreation Pool.
