Welcome to a Summer of Significance
Colvig Silver Camps is a family owned and operated summer camp in
Durango, Colorado, offering both day and overnight programs.
We believe the challenges of outdoor experience, fun, and adventure
provide some of the best opportunities for kids to grow.
Our Mission
At Colvig Silver Camps, our goal is to facilitate the development of caring, thoughtful, and responsible human beings.
Our Philosophy
With a 3:1 camper to staff ratio we accomplish our mission by developing connection within our community, within ourselves, and with the world around us.
Community Driven
Our caring and committed staff intentionally guides the creation of a positive environment tailored to age specific development.

We set aside wins and losses and let campers create their own unique experience daily to focus on personal challenges and overcoming obstacles.
