The Camp Telaphiba Difference
A backdrop to learning unlike any other!
Unlike typical dance competition and convention settings that dancers attend every year, Camp Telaphiba offers scenic views of the Rocky Mountains for students as they attend daily dance classes, perform every night and participate in fun outdoor activities like hiking, swimming, canoeing, and more! Visit the Life At Camp page to learn more about a day in the life at camp.
Make memories with your dancers!
The daily demands of being a dance studio owner or dance teacher mean that you likely don’t have much time to bond and create stronger relationships with your dancers. Camp Telaphiba’s serene setting and supportive in-house staff allows studio owners, teachers and chaperones to spend time making memories with students that turn into lifelong connections! Activities like bonfires, mentorship sessions and more let you take off your “teacher hat” and get to know your students as the unique people that they are.
Network with industry peers and explore!
Camp Telaphiba is the perfect place to meet like-minded dance studio owners, dance teachers and other industry professionals. While dancers are busy taking class or exploring the outdoors, you can use this time to talk to fellow chaperones to share ideas, get advice or plan time to explore the nearby towns in Colorado.
No stress - Camp Telaphiba handles it all!
Camp Telaphiba plans, coordinates and communicates all of the details related to your group’s trip directly with the parents before, during and after camp. Parents register and pay for camp with us directly to make the experience stress-free for you!

“Camp Telaphiba holds a special place in my heart! Over the past decade, so many of my students have attended and absolutely loved it. I’ve watched them grow more confident, build lifelong friendships, and create cherished memories they’ll carry forever. Some have even become counselors in training and later full staff members, continuing the camp’s tradition of positivity and growth. It’s an incredible experience for dancers of all levels, and I’m so grateful to see its lasting impact on each of them.”

The dancers returned not only more skilled but filled with stories of incredible fun, new friendships, and memories they’ll cherish forever. The camp offered such a wonderful environment, combining dance training and outdoor adventures that kept them engaged and excited.

Any money earned can be applied to chaperone costs, or even completely pay for a chaperone to attend!
