59TH YEAR AND AWARD WINNING - CAMP ROCKY
July 9th-14th 2023 | DIVIDE, COLORADO

Welcome to Camp!

Camp Rocky is an educational, week long residential camp for 14 through 19 year-olds who enjoy the outdoors and are interested in natural resources!

Camp is located outside Divide, Colorado. Camp Rocky’s professional staff helps participants learn about their environment through hands-on experiences. Students work in teams, making new friends from across Colorado.

Each year, new and returning students choose one of the following resource fields for their area of focus: Rangeland Science Forestry Management Soil and Water Science Fish and Wildlife Management At the end of the week, students will use their group learning plan to complete a management project. Additional camper activities include volleyball games, hiking, a campfire, group challenges, nightly natural resource presentations, and a talent show!

Sponsored by the Colorado Association of Conservation Districts, with the help of other natural resource conservation partners.
