In-Person and Virtual Gatherings
We’re hitting the road (and the screen)! Each year, we host in-person and virtual gatherings to connect with families, campers, alumni, and staff. These events are a fun, casual way to learn more about Cheley—meet a camp director, hear stories from campers and parents, and get a genuine feel for what a Cheley summer is all about.

Each gathering offers a glimpse into the Cheley Experience: an overview of camp life, time for Q&A, and stories from campers, families, staff, and alumni. A Cheley camp director is present at every gathering, so you’ll have the chance to connect directly and get your questions answered.
We’re excited to visit these cities in 2025–2026! We’re still finalizing our full list of locations and will post new gatherings as they’re scheduled. Don’t see your city listed yet?

Colorado
Colorado Springs
After some consideration, we’ve decided to change our plans and will no longer be hosting this gathering in Colorado Springs on January 24th.
Instead, we’re planning a spring Cheley get-together in the Castle Rock or Castle Pines area. We’re looking forward to reconnecting then and will share more details as soon as they’re available.
Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to see you this spring!
2025–2026 Season
Each year, we travel to cities across the U.S. to connect with campers, families, alumni, and staff. As each gathering passes, we’ll move it here so you can see where we’ve already been on this year’s route — and where we will likely return in future seasons.
Cities visited so far: Dallas, TX • Fort Worth, TX • Austin, TX • Houston, TX • Fairway, KS • Denver, CO • Phoenix, AZ • Fort Collins, CO • Boulder, CO • Bethesda, MD • New York City, NY
List will update as gatherings take place.
If you’d like to see us return to one of these cities — or suggest a new one for the future — let us know on the Tell Us Where to Go Next tab.

Virtual Sessions
Whether you’re still exploring summer options for this year or planning ahead for the future, we host monthly virtual sessions for new families to learn more about the Cheley Experience, led by our Owner & Director, Brooke Cheley-Klebe.
These sessions are typically held on weekday evenings and offer an easy way to get to know us, ask questions, and hear what makes a Cheley summer so meaningful. They’re also perfect for grandparents, siblings, or friends who want to join in from home.
More dates will be posted soon.
