HAVE FUN!!! You'll need a cutting torch or plasma cutter.
Why would you want to take it off?

You going to use the plasma cutter to cut the four bolts that hold the hitch on??? You need to yank the rear bumper and the trailer hitch is held on with four bolts (63 ft.-lbs. of torque if I'm not mistaken).
De-hitch away!

Amazing what one can figure out when they've got 3,000 pages of GM service manuals to pull from. Best $180 I've spent on this thing...
My hitch is coming off this weekend to get powdercoated as I was rear-ended a few weeks ago.
Where in Denver are you? I'm in Highlands...

Can't you just grind out the weld on the camera bracket?

The hitch receiver is part of the entire hitch assembly...you'd have to lose the entire hitch to remove the receiver without resorting to using a plasma cutter as DRTYFN mentioned. It's all or nothing unfortunately.
