Summer planning starts early...
And for many local families, Macaroni KID is where that planning begins.
Each year, our Summer Camp & Activities Guide becomes one of the most visited and shared resources across our Macaroni KID sites, helping parents discover camps, classes, and enrichment programs they trust for their kids. From first-time campers to families juggling multiple schedules, parents rely on this guide as they research, compare, and ultimately register for summer programs.
If you offer a summer camp or activity for kids, this guide is designed to put your program in front of families right when they’re actively making decisions.
About the 2026 Summer Camp & Activities Guide
The 2026 Summer Camp & Activities Guide will run from January 2026 through July 31, 2026, providing long-term, consistent exposure throughout the entire summer planning season.
Participating camps are featured:
- On the Macaroni KID website
- Inside the dedicated Summer Camp & Activities Guide
- In our weekly email newsletters sent to thousands of local families
Rather than a one-time promotion, the guide is a season-long resource that families return to again and again as they finalize schedules, compare options, and share recommendations with friends.
Why Camps Choose to Participate
Camp partners consistently tell us they value:
- Being part of a trusted, family-focused platform
- Long-term visibility instead of short, one-off promotions
- Reaching parents who are already looking for summer options
- A simple, streamlined way to promote their programs all season long
Whether you’re filling a few remaining spots or planning ahead for a full summer of sessions, the guide offers a reliable way to stay top-of-mind with local families.
2026 Participation Options
For 2026, we’re offering a small number of curated package options, allowing camps to choose the level of visibility that best fits their goals, from a straightforward guide listing to expanded storytelling and promotional opportunities.
Details and pricing can be found directly in the sign-up form.
We have joined forces with Macaroni KID Downtown Denver, Macaroni KID Highlands Ranch-Parker-Castle Rock-Lone Tree, Macaroni KID Lakewood-Littleton, Macaroni KID Englewood-Greenwood Village-Centennial, and more Denver Metro MacKID editions to offer our Summer Camp and Activities Guide participants booth space at the Summer Camp and Activities Expo (February 21 at Chatfield HS). Meet our readers face to face, where you can share your camps and connect with our readers on a personal level.

If you’re interested in participating, simply complete the registration form with your camp or program details. If you’re unsure which option is the best fit, I’m always happy to talk it through.
This guide truly wouldn’t be possible without the incredible camps and programs that serve families in our community, and I’d love to include yours in the 2026 season.
