A highlight of the past month for me was hiking with a group of kids from the Boys and Girls Club to the top of Lookout Point.

Beulah School of Natural Sciences (BSNS) recently kicked off the school year with their first visit to the Pueblo Mountain Park!

August 21-24 marked the return of the Outdoor Explorations Program to the NWDC River Campus for the 2023-2024 school year.
