Stream Explorers is a longstanding partnership between GARNA and the Collegiate Peaks Chapter of Trout Unlimited to connect kids to the river in their backyard. This 2-day mini camp takes place in Salida on Friday, August 1 and Friday, August 8. Kids should plan to attend both sessions, where they will learn about stream ecology, water quality, fly tying, and fly fishing. There will be a separate family fishing day where campers can show off their skills to their families. Stream Explorers is open to rising 5th to 8th graders. This edition of Stream Explorers will take place in and around Buena Vista. Space is limited and registration is required. Click here to register.
GARNA’s community and youth programs empower people with the skills, knowledge, and hands-on experience to connect with and care for the environment. We focus on building relationships – with ourselves, with each other, and with the land – through meaningful experiences and shared learning. By combining empowerment with connections, we help foster a deep sense of responsibility that goes beyond our programs, inspiring lifelong stewardship and active participation in protecting the ecosystems we all depend on.
Many GARNA programs require a Liability Release Form be filled out each calendar year.
