House of Rock FAQs
Can a student register for another camp and/or all camps?
Yes! Students can sign-up anytime for another camp session before it starts or the day of if it is not sold out (most camps sell out). Many students take at least 2 sessions and some take multiple sessions. Week 3 & 5 camps are both for intermediate/advanced students but each week is different and students are encouraged to take both. Last year all the camps sold out so it is advised to register early. You can register on-line or call our awesome front desk at 303-777-1003 ext 2.

Do you allow peanut, tree-nut, or dairy products at your camp?
Campers may bring peanut, tree-nut, and/or dairy products in their lunches, although we do encourage parents to limit the use of peanuts or tree-nuts in their children’s lunches. Swallow Hill can, in no way, guarantee a 100% nut-free or allergen-free environment, and therefore cannot be labeled as an allergen-free or nut-free school or camp. We ask that all House of Rock parents discuss allergies beforehand.
Is there a uniform?
No. Though House of Rock Campers are provided with a T-shirt the first day of camp that they can wear at anytime.
