  Looking for a way to turn Denver into a giant game board? Urban Adventure Quest has created a family-based scavenger hunt that combines the fun of the amazing race with a three-hour tour of Denver. Guided from any smart phone, groups make their way among well known and overlooked gems of the city, solving clues and completing challenges while learning local history. The adventure begins at the state capitol and takes you on a well designed course through some of Denver's art and culture, among shops along the 16th Street Mall and through courtyards and buildings steeped in rich Denver history. The tour requires approximately 2 miles of walking and uses the free 16th street mall transportation at one point in the game. Using a smart phone as 'the guide' allows teams to start when they want and determine their own pace of play. Stop for lunch midway or an ice cream on the Mall - why not, it's your schedule? Offered at a fixed price for a group vs. per person pricing, this city tour/game offers a great value to those on a budget. Register @ www.UrbanAdventureQuest.com. (less) ... Read more

  Camp Pillsbury is an exciting, safe, fun, coed overnight summer camp for kids ages 6-17.

     It is a unique sleep over camp in Minnesota that provides over 100 activities to choose from. No matter what each child's interests are, they are certain to find activities that not only fascinate them, but help build their character, self-esteem and confidence. Camp Pillsbury offers its campers the chance to fly on the trapeze, participate in musical theater, team sports (such as basketball, baseball, soccer, volleyball), learn magic tricks, go horseback riding, tumble, dance, and play an instrument - all in the same day! Because each camper chooses the activities they participate in, they are spending their day with campers who share the same interests, helping form stronger bonds with new friends. The programs and classes we offer put an emphasis on activities that today's kids gravitate to. Camp Pillsbury offers Circus Arts, Rock Band, Musical Theater, Dance, Fine Arts and Crafts, Technology/Digital Arts & Multimedia, Team Sports, Individual Sports, Magic, Water Sports, Extreme Sports, Horseback Riding, Orchestra, Woodworking, Vocal Ensembles, Cheer, Gymnastics, Role Playing Games, Archery, Weightlifting, and much more. Our fully elective program allows campers to select all of their favorite activities and to also try new ones within our established daily schedule. Campers have the opportunity to develop existing skills and explore new interests. Every program and activity is open to all age groups and all skill levels where we meet each child's individual needs and respect their individuality. Our day is comprised of 6 one hour periods; three Majors and three Minors. Majors are taken at the same time each day with the same staff and campers and is an activity that each camper has chosen to learn more about, get better at and be in the end of session show or exhibition. Campers choose three Minors each day that they can try once or repeat as often as they like. This allows campers plenty of opportunity to try new activities they have never been exposed to before. Campers thrive, building on existing interests and developing new ones. They flourish and excel in the areas they become passionate about and self-confidence soars. They become better singers, dancers, actors, athletes, artists, musicians and even students. Camp Pillsbury is helping kids from all over the world be successful through programs led by experts in a unique camp environment. Our campers learn from the best to be the best. They also form friendships that last a lifetime. Campers sleep in dorms and will be provided with great food, fun and friends throughout the summer. (less) ... Read more

  Colorado's Natural Wonder

     With the completion of the brand new 14,000 sq. foot Visitor Center sitting on the very edge of the Royal Gorge, once again the park is open on a daily basis. In keeping with a national park look, the new facility's deck overhang gives spectacular views of the gorge and the Bridge. A large gift shop and restaurant with indoor/outdoor seating for 200, complete with large fireplace, face the Royal Gorge. The Royal Rush Skycoaster is the only ride not affected by the fire (extra pay feature - weather permitting and seasonal operation). The Plaza Theater and Historical Expo will be re-opened in the spring of 2015. In addition, the much-loved Water Clock and a new large children's play area with a carousel will be added to the park. Installation of a new gig-back aerial gondola, and a new zip line, a twin-racing Zip Rider (extra pay feature - weather permitting and seasonal operation) taking guests 2,300 feet across the Royal Gorge, will begin in October with completion slated for January. Look for the new Bridge View BBQ and patio area on the Southside of the park to be finished by Spring 2015. The historic undertaking of rebuilding the park after the Royal Gorge Fire 2013 has taken a little over a year and the park will continue to keep adding attractions and features for a Grand Opening in the Spring of 2015. Our Bighorn Mountain Top Lodge was not directly affected by the fire but we are currently utilizing this space internally. This facility will be available for rentals in 2015.

  At Mad Adventures we offer whitewater rafting trips for most all ages. On the Colorado River, we specialize in family- and group-friendly trips. If you are wanting to experience whitewater rafting for the first time with your children, have a family reunion, or just want to see beautiful terrain from a river perspective, book a half day, full day or an overnight trip. Winter Park and Steamboat Springs are only 45 minutes away so you can be on the river and back home before it's campfire marshmallow time. Clear Creek has family friendly sections and more adventurous sections. Per mile, Clear Creek has more rapids than most rivers you might raft. This creates very exciting trips, even on the family-friendly sections. Clear Creek's location near Denver (35 minutes), Winter Park (45 minutes) and Breckenridge (45 minutes) makes it an easy choice for rafting without lots of driving. (less) ... Read more

  Colorado's Natural Wonder

     With the completion of the brand new 14,000 sq. foot Visitor Center sitting on the very edge of the Royal Gorge, once again the park is open on a daily basis. In keeping with a national park look, the new facility's deck overhang gives spectacular views of the gorge and the Bridge. A large gift shop and restaurant with indoor/outdoor seating for 200, complete with large fireplace, face the Royal Gorge. The Royal Rush Skycoaster is the only ride not affected by the fire (extra pay feature - weather permitting and seasonal operation). The Plaza Theater and Historical Expo will be re-opened in the spring of 2015. In addition, the much-loved Water Clock and a new large children's play area with a carousel will be added to the park. Installation of a new gig-back aerial gondola, and a new zip line, a twin-racing Zip Rider (extra pay feature - weather permitting and seasonal operation) taking guests 2,300 feet across the Royal Gorge, will begin in October with completion slated for January. Look for the new Bridge View BBQ and patio area on the Southside of the park to be finished by Spring 2015. The historic undertaking of rebuilding the park after the Royal Gorge Fire 2013 has taken a little over a year and the park will continue to keep adding attractions and features for a Grand Opening in the Spring of 2015. Our Bighorn Mountain Top Lodge was not directly affected by the fire but we are currently utilizing this space internally. This facility will be available for rentals in 2015.
