Summer Camp 2020
Wrap-Up
Summer Camp 2020 is officially in the books! We would like to thank all of our amazing summer campers, their parents, and our partners from Nature's Educators and The Urban Farm for making this an incredibly memorable camp season!

Camp looked quite a bit different this summer as we adjusted to new COVID-19 procedures but campers and families transitioned flawlessly! Because of their flexibility and understanding we were able to hold 11 weeks of camp with FULL registrations each week. Thanks to camp and donor funding, we provided full and partial scholarships for 42 campers. Campers were able to grow in their relationships with nature while also fostering new relationships, learning new skills, and developing a new respect for the outdoors. Working with families and children is why we love summer so much and why we cannot wait until next year!
"We have been SO PLEASED with our son's camp experience in the first 2 weeks! He has been so engaged and tells us so much each evening about his experiences. He's decided in the last 2 weeks that when he grows up, he's going to be "a camper and fisher in the woods!" Thank you so much for creating an experience in which he's happy and safe."
Thank You Staff!

We would like to give a HUGE thank you to our amazing summer camp staff from this summer. Thank you to Heidi, Philip, Maggie R, Caleigh, Emily, Mac, Kristin, Sofia, Ben, Charlotte, Zoey, Shay, Jacob, Maggie W, and Rachel. We definitely could not have made this summer happen without this dedicated group of people!
CSU Student Survey
This year we have been working with two students in the Conservation Leadership master’s degree program at CSU. These students are completing their capstone project here at Bluff Lake which is centered around a site monitoring plan that uses both ecological and social data to improve visitor experience and representation. Please help them by filling out this survey related to Bluff Lake Visitor "Values and Perceptions."

Survey is available in English and Spanish.
Each year we hold our annual Wine & Cheese event to thank our incredible donors and stakeholders for their contributions to our organization and unfailing support. This year, in the interest of keeping everyone safe, we have decided to hold the event virtually and open it to the public! Details will be sent via invitation in mid-September.
