The La Plata Conservation District will sponsor students ages 14 to 19 to attend Camp Rocky, which is just outside Divide, near Colorado Springs.
Presented by the Colorado Association of Conservation Districts, Camp Rocky is a weeklong camp, held July 9-15, for students who enjoy the outdoors and are in interested in natural resources.
Students work in teams and learn through hands-on experiences. They choose one of these resource fields to focus on: forest management; rangeland science; soil and water conservation; or fish and wildlife management. Students bunk in a cabin with eight other students and eat food supplied by the camp.
The La Plata Conservation District sponsors students and provides support with partial registration fees.
For more information, contact Ted Creighton, the district’s supervisor of education outreach, at tcreigh@vt.edu or 749-7384. For more about Camp Rocky, visit www.coloradoacd.org/camprocky.
