Absolutely not. We welcome any and all children into our summer camp program.

Our summer camp calendars will be posted on our main summer camp page as well as the respective grade-level camp pages when summer camp begins. Please note that activities shown on the calendars may change without notice. We will do our very best to communicate to registered families when a change is made.

For your convenience, we offer online registration for all Dragon Flight programs. Be prepared to enter four emergency contacts (name, phone number, address), as well as the name and contact information for your child's doctor, dentist, and hospital preference.

The state of Colorado mandates a staff to child ratio no greater than 1:15. Our child to staff ratio averages 1:12. However, there may be occasions where the ratio is 1:15.

If your child is registered for full-time and/or part-time summer camp and does not attend, you will be charged for the day of care. For specialty camps, cancellations must be made prior to May 1 in order to receive a full refund.

Parents who are late picking their children up from summer camp will be charged $1/minute/child.

Yes, Flagstaff accepts families receiving state assistance through CCAP. Families interested in the Child Care Assistance Program may visit the Colorado Office of Early Childhood website.

Both Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and FBI background checks are conducted.

We understand that children get sick (a lot), but for the health of our school community and our staff we do not provide sick care. Dragon Flight follows the same 24-hour sickness free rule as the school.

If your child is on medication, Dragon Flight requires parents to complete the appropriate Medical Form and submit it to the Dragon Flight director prior to the child attending Dragon Flight. We always have at least one person on staff that is Medication Administration certified. All staff members are CPR/First Aid and Standard Precaution certified as well.

Sunscreen needs to be applied at drop off in front of Dragon Flight staff (this is a state-mandated requirement). Dragon Flight staff will reapply sunscreen and bug spray as needed throughout the day.

The registration fee is the same for all campers, regardless of whether they already hold a season pass to Elitch Gardens. The Elitch Gardens season pass is a small percentage of the cost we incur to offer our teen camp.

When arriving in the morning, please text the Dragon Flight phone at (720) 442-6023 with your child's name to let us know that you have arrived. Please then walk your child to the vestibule doors on the north-west side of the building. 

When picking up, parents are asked to text (720) 442-6023 with their child's name and be prepared to show a photo ID. Dragon Flight staff will sign each student out to their parents. Please meet your child at the vestibule doors. For questions, please contact Jeanna Peppler at (303) 217-6764 or [email protected].

Please send the director an e-mail with the name of the authorized person, even if the person is on the authorized pick up list. Please tell the authorized pick-up person to bring their ID in with them. 

A disposable lunch and/or two snacks should be sent with your child for summer camp depending on whether they are full- or part-time, unless otherwise noted.

Flagstaff Academy and Dragon Flight utilize a multi-tiered Restorative Practices approach within the school's culture that is embraced by the school leadership, staff, and students. The result of this approach is a community that is committed to self-responsibility, self-discipline, and self-awareness of how our words and actions impact one another.
