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 them 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!
