With an acute focus on the health and safety of campers and staff, GARNA will be adjusting Nature’s Scientists to a Monday through Friday full week program with small-group ratios. This full week, one location model limits the amount of community exposure of campers and staff during that time, which our regular 6 week model does not afford.
When: June 22 – 26th, 9 am – 3 pm
Where: Poncha Creek Picnic Area (.7 south on Hwy 285 from the intersection of 285 and 50. See Map).
Who: Ages 7- 11 years old. At this time, only residents ~ 10 miles from the program location may register for this program per advisory from Chaffee County Public Health.
What: Nature Camp promises to be a true ed-venture! Join GARNA instructors in searching for aquatic insects, exploring forestry and birds of prey, completing orienteering challenges, and more – crafts, games, scavenger hunts, nature journaling, etc!
Cost: $275. Scholarships available! E-mail youth@garna.org for scholarship information.
Many GARNA programs require a Liability Release Form be filled out each calendar year.
