Camp Granite Lake

Overview

Camp Granite Lake is a small, family-owned overnight camp located on 135 beautiful acres in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Just one hour from Denver, we offer campers entering 2nd – 11th grades traditional summer camp fun and exciting outdoor activities in a tech-free, welcoming and inclusive community. We offer 19-night Traditional sessions for campers entering 3rd – 11th grades in Fall 2026, or 5-night introduction Mini-Camps for campers entering 2nd-5th grade in Fall 2026.

S’mores by the campfire, paddling on the lake, classic camp songs, rock climbing, dance parties, star-gazing, fort building… life moves a little bit slower at 9000ft, and there is something for everyone at Camp Granite Lake. Come and create some memories with us in 2026!

Our campers in Traditional sessions choose their own activity schedules at CGL, fostering independence, decision making and team work. We offer over 20 different activities ranging from boating on the lake to creative writing in the CGL Newspaper, so there is truly something for everyone. Technology is off the table, meaning our campers are present in conversations and with the world around them, and staff help campers develop meaningful, positive relationships while at CGL.

At the end of the summer, our most common parent feedback is that campers go home having grown in confidence and resilience, and we help our parents feel connected and assured with regular communication and photos while your camper is away from home.
