Academics  

Durango Mountain Camp's hand-picked professional language therapists use an Orton-Gillingham approach to tutoring. Individual students receive the following instruction daily:

One hour of one-on-one intensive, individual language tutoring in reading, spelling, writing and composition.
One hour of supervised study hall structured by the language therapist.
One hour of composition and keyboarding which integrates technology with the language learning process.
One hour of supervised oral and silent independent reading based on appropriate literature.
For students who have a need for math instruction, an hour daily of small group math instruction is available for an additional fee of $500.

Evaluation Campers are tested both pre and post camp to evaluate reading skills, reading comprehension, vocabulary, spelling, and handwriting. An extensive written evaluation with test results, academic recommendations and observations from the counselors and outdoor pursuits staff, is sent to each parent at the end of camp.

Day Camp DMC will admit a limited number of day students, ages 8 -13. These students will follow the same academic schedule and outdoor pursuits as boarding campers.
