DENVER, CO — The end of the school year is near, and that means one thing: The kids are coming. They are leaving their daily educational lives for nice weather and months without a schedule.

If you don't want their brains to turn to mush or need them supervised, the good news is that kids love summer camps.

But if you haven't reserved spots for summer camp yet, don’t worry; it’s not too late. Check out the list below for best summer camps with spaces still available

The International School of Denver has an impressive roster of summer camp offerings. Not only are the subjects of the camps fun —space, sports, coding, art — but they are also taught in several languages with no language experience needed. According to the detailed program description, camps are taught in English and another language concurrently, and the program denotes whether the second is French, Chinese or Spanish. These are the perfect opportunity for kids to become introduced to a language or stay fresh from school or a heritage language. Register here.

If your camper wants to play outside and do a variety of adventurous activities, Dream Big Day Camp is the place. This camp offers active programs, slightly changed dependent on age, as well as specialty camps, such as baseball camp, basketball camp and cooking camp. Just in case this camp was not tiring enough, they also offer tripping camp, which are hikes all around the Denver area and adventure excursions to explore the outdoors and learn more about nature. The camp, regardless of whether it is a specialty camp, focuses on nurturing campers' personal growth and interpersonal skills through the experiences. Register here.

Does your camper like to be in control? We have just the place for you. At Steve and Kate’s Camp in Denver, the kids are in the driver's seat. Campers decide what they want to do every day from a variety of activities. According to the website, the logic behind the kids taking charge of their play time is that by trying and sometimes failing, they will learn to trust their own judgement and then be prepared to face real-world problems as they mature. Camp is purchased through individual days that can then be used on any day that Steve and Kate's is open this summer — notice not even required. Plus, any unused days are refunded after summer.

Parkour! If your camper has an interest in this sport, learning the right way requires skill development. Apex Denver Parkour and Athletics teaches the technique behind the dazzling stunts of parkour with morning and afternoon summer camps that utilize structured parkour lessons focused on skill development, free training time and engaging games. Campers also have the option to extend to a full day with parkour plus fencing. What a combination! Register here.

What about water? If that's the best part of summer for your camper, check this out: sailing lessons. Community Sailing of Colorado offers age-appropriate sailing lessons for children, starting at five years old. Children can learn to sail or skip up through the classes depending on previous experience, and then they can work their way from one level to the next. Community Sailing also offers "Stand Up Paddleboard + Kayak + Sail Camp" at their Denver location for those who want more of a general introduction to water sports. On the other hand, there are also race camp and race team for advanced sailors. Register here.
