At this camp, families will experience a unique camp in Rocky Mountain National Park.
During this camp, families will explore the park guided by instructors on Saturday and learn how to set up a tent themselves. They will also be taught various applications which they can use to explore this and other parks on their own.
Families will have the opportunity to speak with the rangers and in some cases become Junior Rangers or watch a presentation by the rangers on a nature-related topic (this depends on the day and is subject to change).
Families cook their food individually so they learn to use camping stoves. Usually in teams of 2 or 3 families per stove.
We will end the day with a bonfire and some delicious s'mores.
On Sunday they will be taught how to make reservations for the national parks.
Camp will be packed up and you will be given more information about the park and its surroundings so your family can explore this wonderful place on their own.
