Camp Chief Ouray’s “Camp Magic,” a mom at play and your family’s own camp experience!
My husband Jamie and I have been parents for 10 years and we have never been alone together at our home for more than one night since having kids. So it was a shock for me when we dropped them off for week-long Camp Chief Ouray at YMCA of the Rockies located between Grand Lake and Winter Park. But not for Jamie. As we were walking away from my daughter’s cabin, we followed the procession of parents to their cars. “Do you know what all these parents have in common?” he observed. “They’re all smiling.” And so were the kids. While Jamie and I reconnected with nightly dates, Hadley and Bode had the time of their lives at Colorado’s longest-running overnight camp for boys and girls ages 7-17 where they stayed in rustic cabins as they did archery, ...

4 Things Every Parent Should Know When Choosing the Right Summer Camp
I have decided this summer my kids are finally ready for camp. With the exception of a church camp I’d attend every summer as a teenager, I never went to camp. But thanks to the Parent Trap, I always held it in the highest esteem–from the outdoor activities, to the campfires and, of course, the mischief. I was sure I’d even run into my long-lost twin sister. Daydream disclaimer: I was the lone girl sandwiched between two brothers. Though my kids have done casual sports and arts camps, I wanted to wait until I felt they were the right age to enroll them in just the right camp. But I still wasn’t sure. I have a lot of great camp/program brochures that come across my desk. The one that made me stop in my tracks was Avid4 Adventure, which offers

Woodward at Copper: The Coolest Summer Camp on Earth
Our boys had a great summer in 2010. Why? Because it was the first summer that they each went to sleepover camp. Although they didn’t go to camp together, they both went to the same freestyle skiing camp: Woodward at Copper. Woodward at Copper is a relatively new, year-round addition to the winter sports offerings at Copper Mountain, Colorado. Opened in 2009, the centerpiece of Woodward at Copper is The Barn, a 19,400 square foot indoor terrain park and training facility. Woodward at Copper provides training in freestyle (park and pipe) skiing and snowboarding for athletes of all levels, from beginner to pro. And while you may be wondering why you should care about summer camp when there is still a lot of snow on the ground, experienced moms will tell you that now is the time to sign...

It’s Never too Early to Start Thinking About (Sanborn) Camp!
Yep, the kids are back in school, the decorations have been boxed (almost), and the leftovers have all been consumed. Families have returned from epic “vacations” after which most of us needed an additional vacation. By and large, we are all happily settling back into our pre-holiday routines, going strong with our fitness resolutions, and loving the pseudo-quiet of our everyday households. And then we wake up and it is February, a particularly grim wintertime month in my opinion. So it is no surprise that many of us begin to “think summer” during these short, chilly days of winter. Our kids begin to exhibit signs of social and emotional overload—too much school, too much family, too much inside time, “too much EVERYTHING, Mom!” Sigh. Fortunately, summer IS just around the corner—and summe...
Must-haves for school: KiDECALS self-adhesive name labels (win them!)
**CONTEST CLOSED. CONGRATULATIONS TO WINNER KELLEY NICHOLS** Keeping track of our kids is tough enough. Keeping track of their belongings is even tougher. That’s why I was thrilled to learn about Boulder mom Hilary Chandler’s entrepreneurial venture: KiDECALS. These affordable self-adhesive name labels are dishwasher- and washing-machine proof and can easily be applied to anything you don’t want to lose. Note: Mind not included. Hilary literally dreamed up the concept during her last trimester of pregnancy. One morning in between wake and sleep, she fitfully dreamt about how she was going to decorate her baby’s room. As an artist, she wanted to paint elaborate murals all over the walls. As a pregnant lady with a stomach too unwieldy to even think about climbing a ladder, she wa...
