Rugged Research Summer Camp
~Explore The Wild Side Of Life~
Boulder & Denver Counties
At Rugged Research Nature Camp, we offer the ultimate summer nature experience! Campers will be led by park rangers, naturalists and environmental educators as they explore wondrous and diverse ecosystems, and discover the legendary Rocky Mountains and the wildlife who call them home. Our program takes students to new breathtaking parks, from the summits of the Rocky Mountains to the rolling grasslands of the prairie.
​
We'll explore it all!
​
Students will also participate in new and exciting activities every day- from getting wet in streams looking for macroinvertebrates, to tracking bald eagles and moose in the mountains!
There's never a dull moment at Rugged Research Nature Camp!
​
Our camp will visit some of the best wild places in Boulder and Denver areas. Check out the map below for specific locations.
