Nestled in the heart of Grant, Colorado, Sylvaneers @ Camp Santa Maria invites children to explore the wonders of the natural world in a safe, engaging, and inspiring environment. Surrounded by lush forests, sparkling streams, and scenic rocky landscapes, our camp offers more than just outdoor adventure. We are passionate about teaching young campers how to connect with nature responsibly while creating lasting friendships and cherished memories. Every activity, from hiking and nature studies to team-building exercises, is designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and encourage a lifelong appreciation for the outdoors.

Founded in late 2024, Sylvaneers brings fresh energy and vision to Camp Santa Maria, a cherished property that has welcomed campers since 1930. Our mission is to enhance the camp experience by providing inclusive access to the natural beauty of this historic location, all while honoring the legacy maintained by the Mary M Dower Benevolent Corporation. By combining traditional camp traditions with innovative programming, we aim to create a summer experience that inspires wonder, fosters community, and encourages children to explore the world around them with respect and joy.
