★★★★★Cheryl McBayDon't hesitate, just register for Camp Oonie Koonie Cha! My son just finished his 3rd summer in a row with them and it's outstanding year after year. Camp may only run for one week in the mornings in Boulder, but they pack in the fun for the whole family. Songs with accompanying dance moves, instrument construction, science, dramatic play, & a guided performance with those songs and instruments at the end of the week all around one theme each summer. My son just turned 7 and it's absolutely his favorite camp. They even serve delicious, healthy, & filling snacks. Director Amy and her staff are camp professionals that pack a punch of fun into all aspects of this wholesome camp. Sign your kiddo up! It'll be so fun for the whole family - I promise.
★★★★★Devon YatesThis is a really special camp. The kids make instruments and have a lovely performance at the end of the week. The science lessons and dramatic play are also a highlight. It's very supportive for younger kids, and when my son is in this camp, he is always singing. Highly recommended!
★★★★★Christina CarlsonBoth my kids love Camp Oonie Koonie Cha. The quality of the staff is incredible and the experience is not to be missed. My kids sing the songs they learned all summer and the combination of music, art and science is very unique. The staff puts so much time and care into the camp theme and music/art selections each year. My daughter made the coolest guitar and other instruments at camp! We sing the songs and play the homemade instruments through the summer so the experience extends beyond camp week. Definitely add this camp to your summer calendar!
★★★★★June GruberWe adored OKC camp! Our boys (5 & 8) attended for their first time this summer. They were entirely engaged and happy to construct instruments, sing songs, and eat delicious smoothies. We loved watching the engaged staff with amazing voices perform songs each morning at drop-off and afternoon at pick-up. We were blown away by the care, engagement and time spent creating a true Wild West theme. We will be back!
★★★★★Lisa CarterThis is our third year attending. A great camp full of fun and learning. My kids cant get enough. 5 days of 3.5 hours where kids play, learn, make music, create instruments, do science, etc. It is expensive, but totally worth it! What they sing is true- "Oonie Koonie Cha is the best in the west. This is the camp that we love best!"
