Grand Junction Colorado Summer Camp Options
It is that time of year to start thinking about summer camp for the children and Grand Junction, Colorado has great summer camp options. It shouldn’t be just any camp, the camp should stimulate the child’s mind and body. That is exactly what makes the choice for camp so hard. I have reviewed the camp options for my 7 year old granddaugher and I am so glad that we live in Grand Junction! The John McConnell Math and Science Center is offering mind stimulating programs in science projects, nature, Lego engineering, coding and chemistry projects.

One of Grand Junction’s most visited historic sites, Cross Orchards, is a step back in time to the 1900’s. Cross Orchards was the biggest orchard in the Grand Valley. Today, some of the original buildings, equipment, and museum, offer a glimpse into farm life. Cross Orchards is offering a summer camp where the children will learn about farm life, agriculture, blacksmithing, cooking, carpentry and sewing.

So you can see how hard the choices are, so I decided to split up my granddaughter’s summer by sending her to three different camps. I am sure she will have a lot of fun and a great learning experience!
