| Opportunities for children are extensive |
STEAMBOAT PILOT & TODAYAnytime of the year, whether snow is piled on the ground or green grass is sprouting, there is a wealth of recreational and educational activities for local and visiting children in the Steamboat Springs area. In the wintertime, many children take part in some sort of winter sport. With an ice skating rink, a ski jump hill, endless Alpine and cross-country ski trails, and the knowledge that Olympic athletes have trained on these grounds before them, children often find a winter sport that catches their interest. The Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club offers programs in disciplines including Alpine, cross-country and freestyle skiing, Nordic combined, ski jumping and snowboarding. There are practice sessions, in which children receive top-notch coaching, and competitions that motivate children to perform their best and have fun at the same time. There are even summer camps that help kids stay in shape in the off-season. For children who want to stay indoors when the weather gets cold, there are multiple recreational sports leagues offered through the city’s Parks and Recreation Department . Leagues are offered throughout the year, with basketball being a popular choice in the winter, and soccer and baseball being top choices in the spring. The Howelsen Hill Ice Arena offers year-round opportunities for children to strap on their skates, get on the ice and enjoy hockey programs and ice-skating lessons. During the school year, there are several programs that help keep students busy after the school day ends. Afterschool Action is an after-school program for youth in kindergarten through fifth grades that provides children with fun recreational activities. School Days Off is a supplemental program to Afterschool Action and operates when school is not in session. Kids Night Out is held on specified Friday nights throughout the year and features various activities for children to enjoy. The Parks and Recreational Services department also offers a variety of afterschool, evening and out-of-town activities for middle school and high school students in both the summer and winter. For Preschoolers, there’s Pee Wee Adventures, a program that stimulates creative thinking and playing through various activities. When school shuts down during the summer, a number of programs that cater to children are offered. These programs range from all-day activities to quick nature walks on a trail. The wildly popular summer recreation camps offered through Steamboat’s Parks and Recreation Department fill up quickly, but because the camp programs are offered on a day-by-day basis, parents can often find daily openings throughout the summer. Activities run the gamut of local recreational opportunities, including horseback riding, whitewater rafting, rock climbing, swimming and hiking. Yampatika, a local nonprofit environmental education organization dedicated to teaching about the natural and cultural resources of Northwest Colorado, also has a number of summer youth programs for children who are ages 3 to 14. In addition, Yampatika offers field seminars throughout the summer to explore topics such as wild mushrooms and animal tracking. Many of the seminars are family oriented. Perry-Mansfield Performing Arts Camp also has a number of camp programs throughout the summer for children of all ages. The programs let children explore theater, dance, music, creative writing and the fine arts. In addition, Perry-Mansfield offers equestrian camps for a wide variety of age groups.
