Creepy Crawly Safari: Plant Protectors (Ages 6-8)

Get outside and learn about the plants around us! During our adventures throughout the week, we will use all of our senses to discover how plants grow, what pollinators do, and the many kinds of plants around Sondermann Park. Each day is packed with fun hands-on activities, crafts to take home, hikes, games, and more! Our goal is to inspire exploration and enjoyment in the outdoors and teach about just how important the trees, flowers, and grasses around us are to ecosystems and humans alike. Join us outdoors this summer for Creepy Crawly Safari: Plant Protectors camp!

Discovery Camp: Forces of Nature (Ages 9-11)

Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four elements brought our world into harmony. Dive into the balance of our natural world like you never have before through the exploration of these forces of nature! The power of our environment is all around us, in the creeks, soils, fire, winds, and much more. This camp is perfect for those who love to immerse themselves in nature, especially through understanding if not mastering the four elements. The week will be full of games, activities, site visits, and adventures related to the elements. Release creativity and imagination while discovering and learning new things about nature!

Outdoor Explorers: Into the Woods (Ages 9-11)

Learn to live outside at this year’s Outdoor Explorers: Into the Woods camp. We’ll spend the week honing our camping and wilderness survival skills. Explorers will learn the timeless art of how to thrive all day and night in the backcountry, no matter what Mother Nature throws their way! Then, with our newfound abilities, we’ll leave the city and head up to the mountains for an overnight camp out at Pueblo Mountain Park’s cabins, where we’ll hike and reflect on a week full of lasting memories and new friendships.

One day of overnights required!
