Engaging Future Conservationists
Camp Rocky is dedicated to fostering a passion for natural resource conservation among teens, blending hands-on learning with memorable camp experiences. Our goal is to educate students from across Colorado about the considered, productive use of natural resources and enable them to explore career paths in various conservation fields.
Soil & Water
The Soil & Water resource group studies how water flows across our natural and managed landscapes, how soil type and quality impact the flow and availability of that water, and how all these factors affect agriculture, the built environment, and natural resources throughout Colorado’s landscapes
Forestry
The Forestry resource group evaluates data on forest and soil health, assessing the impacts of human use, the potential for and impact of events such as fire, and learn about the impact that various stages of forest health has on watersheds and availability of other natural resources.
Fish & Wildlife
The Fish & Wildlife resource group examines how resource availability or scarcity impacts fauna across Colorado, how changes we make impact the relationship between humans and wildlife, learns methods for observing and quantifying fish & wildlife behavior, and will learn about the careers available in this sector from those who live them.
Rangeland Science
The Rangeland Science resource group examines both ecology and management practices with the goal of sustaining healthy, productive rangelands. Students learn about the various range environments found in Colorado, native and introduced species of rangeland grasses, and how those species impact the landscape.
