Summer Programs
Summers at Fountain Valley School are filled with camps, conferences and other programs run both by outside organizations and FVS faculty. The 1,100-acre main campus, located at the base of Pikes Peak in southeast Colorado Springs, is the primary location for all camps, and some groups also utilize the 40-acre Mountain Campus near Buena Vista, Colo., for special retreats. Residential or day, all groups who use the FVS campus benefit from some of the most impressive residential, academic, athletic and recreational facilities in the nation.
