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.
