No Ordinary Camps
Burn Camps Program
We are a nonprofit organization creating intentional camp experiences for pediatric burn survivors and their families — rooted in healing, connection, and growth.
About Us
No Ordinary Camps is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting burn survivors and their families through transformative camp experiences. Through winter camp, family camp, and summer camp programs, we create spaces where healing, connection, and confidence can grow.
Our camps are intentionally designed to support survivors as whole people. Campers engage in meaningful activities such as horseback riding, arts and crafts, rock climbing, swimming, and snow sports that foster creativity, self-expression, courage, and joy. Every experience is rooted in safety, belonging, and community.
All No Ordinary Camps programs are offered at no cost to campers and families and are made possible through the generosity of donors who believe every survivor deserves access to healing and connection.
Why Camp?
We strive to develop the imagination, genuine character, and confidence of campers, giving them the ability and courage to thrive during their recovery and beyond.

Upcoming Events
Fire Hose Race, Presented by BCER
Friday, February 27, 2026
The 19th annual Fire Hose Race will be held on Friday, February 27, 2026, at Arapahoe Basin. Hosted by BCER, corporations and fire departments from across Colorado team up to participate in a unique slalom-style event. Teams of five race down a 15-gate slalom course while holding on to 50 feet of fire hose. You can’t miss them as all participants dress in bunker gear including a firefighter jacket and helmet! The event raised an amazing $25,000 for No Ordinary Camps in 2025.
We are incredibly thankful to BCER for once again hosting the event and to all the sponsors and participants. This donation brings their total giving to over $275,000!
