We sometimes accept campers whose age falls below the minimum required age of a certain program. We ask a few questions to determine whether adding a younger child to the roster will be a success:
- Is the child relatively close to the program’s minimum age?
- Do we have or expect to have other children attending that at the youngest end of the age bracket, and do we still have room in our youngest groups?
- Has your child attended other programs of similar length?
- Are the parents willing to pull their child mid-session if their child is struggling in a way that is taking away from the experience of the rest of the group?
Young Camper policy: If we can answer yes to the above questions, we will consider accepting a young camper into a program on a case-by-case basis. Parents need to contact our office team to discuss the pros and cons of their child attending. If their child does get approval to attend, our office staff will assist in registering the child to bypass the age restrictions. Finally, if RA accepts a young camper into a program and they are not thriving in a way that is taking away from the experience of the other participants in the group, we may ask that the child not continue the week. If this happens, there is no refund or credit for unused days.
- Backpack
- Hat for sun protection
- A bag lunch with a snack
- Two filled water bottles
- Closed-toed shoes for active play. Sneakers are preferred. No crocs, sandals, or flip-flops.
- Light rain coat or poncho
- Please apply sunscreen before signing your child in
- Do not send valuables or tech devices with your child to camp. A cell phone may be sent only if your child needs to contact you at the end of the day for pick-up communications.
- Medication: If your child will be bringing an EPI pen or inhaler, please make sure you listed this on your health form when you registered and let the Quest Leader know where it is stored on the first day of drop-off. Our staff is not trained in the administration of other medications. Please contact the office to discuss options if your child needs to take medication during the camp day.
- Costumes/ Quest Gear: Some campers choose to bring costumes and quest gear such as foam Swasher Swords or shields. We provide all participants Swashers to use at our programs. If interested in purchasing a Swasher or quest gear for your child, please check out our online store. Items ordered online can be delivered to your child at Boulder area programs or picked up at our office near 55th and Arapahoe. Orders for Denver programs can sometimes be delivered to your child at camp, but often need to be picked up or shipped. Please contact our office for questions regarding Denver delivery during the week of your child’s program. All swashers and gear sold on our online store are approved for use at camp. Items purchased from other vendors must conform to our safety standards for use at camp. Our staff will check personal quest gear on the first day of the program to determine whether it meets our standards.
- Fall, Winter, & Spring Camps: Warm clothes and layers. Groups will usually spend some time outside, even in the winter. Please send winter gear on cold days.
Before and after care is offered through Adventure Club at select locations for the summer of 2026. Check the calendar event for the program you are interested in to see whether Adventure Club is offered.
Until your child is signed in to our program, they are not under our supervision, and we cannot take responsibility for them. Questers are required to have an authorized adult sign them in and out every day unless the parent or guardian has given permission otherwise. Parents are prompted to grant or deny sign-in/out permission to their child when registering. Contact us by phone or email to give your child permission to sign themself in/ out:
- Email info@renaissanceadventures.com
- Phone 303-786-9216
While that’s certainly okay for occasional needs, we recommend that the child stay for the entire day and for the entire week that the quest is happening. As Adventure Quest is an interactive story, missing a few hours will mean that the Quester is out of the story for some time, missing out on crucial decisions!
Late Pick-up and Late Fee Policy:
There is a fifteen-minute grace period after the end of the program for signing out participants. There will be a late fee assessed for each child that is picked up after the grace period ends. The late fee is $1.00/minute for each minute after the end of the grace period. Parents/guardians will be billed for this time. For children whose parents or guardians have not yet arrived and who cannot sign themselves out, a staff person will stay with the child and make every attempt to contact the parents/guardians and all emergency contacts. If a child is not picked up and RA is not contacted to make special arrangements, then one hour after the program ends, RA will contact the police department and child protective services.

As you are registering for a program, you will be prompted to enter in your friend requests. If you would like to make a friend request after your registration is complete, please email our office with the details and we will enter the request for you. We make every effort to honor friend requests, but they are not guaranteed. Friend requests must be made at least one week prior to the start of camp and they must be mutual.
We usually don’t allow younger children to quest with a group of older kids, but on occasion, an older sibling or friend can quest with a younger group. Requests must be made at least one week prior to the start of camp.
Absolutely. If you are curious about what a quest is like, you may join in for an hour or so during the day. Please talk to the Quest Leader and the office about what a good day or time is for the visit.
Throughout the year we collect a large amount of items that are left behind by campers. We encourage you to write your child’s name or initials on clothing, water bottles, and any items that they might bring to one of our programs. If you believe that one of your child’s belongings may be in the lost and found, please notify our office staff promptly. We keep our found items at the office. RA promises to keep items in the lost and found for at least two weeks, and if there’s a name on the item, we will attempt to contact you about picking it up. After two weeks or several unreturned phone calls, the lost item will be donated to charity.
No, but they are helpful for the experienced Quester. Of the various books we offer, the Adventure Quest Game Book should be the first book to buy, as it is the essential book to play Adventure Quest. It describes all the standard Rules, Races, Paths, Equipment, Pets, and Powers. For the summer of 2023, we have placed a hold on selling gamebooks as we are currently updating the book.
Looking for a weekend experience with Renaissance Adventures? Our staff offer dynamic quests and fun games for birthday parties and special events like bar and bat mitzvahs on weekend days. Please see birthday parties and events. In the past, families have asked us to run multi-week Adventure Quest and “Power Quest” programs for their children and their friends on weekend days. If you are interested in having Renaissance Adventures run a Home Quest program for one or several weekends in a row, please contact us.
Tips are always appreciated by our Quest Leaders, but they are never expected. Our Quest Leaders are paid better than the average camp counselor.

No. They are owned by Artix Entertainment and have absolutely no involvement in our programs, as we don’t have any involvement in their online games.
Online registration for each program closes at midnight the Thursday before the program begins (for overnights, it is a full week before the program). While we do our best to accommodate last-minute registrations, we cannot guarantee that there will be space available. If you register for a program or decide to change into or out of a session after registration has closed, there will be an additional $45 late registration fee applied to the price. It is best not to show up at the site on Monday morning expecting there to be space available. To register at the last minute (defined as Friday or later), you must do the following:
- Call the office and leave a detailed message with:
- your child’s name and age
- the location and type of program you want to register for
- your name and contact information
- Email us the same information to
We will contact you before 9pm Sunday evening to inform you if we have a spot for your child. Payment is expected at this time. Furthermore, expect to spend at least 15 minutes at the site filling out paperwork – you may be required to do so even if you have already filled it electronically. If this is the first time you are attending our program then you will need to register your child online prior to the start of camp so that we have the proper documentation to give to the Quest Leader.
