December 2023 – Ranger Ramblings

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

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.

Many children enjoy our camps so much that they return year after year, but it’s equally awesome having new campers join in the fun.

On Wednesday morning, we met our campers at the River Campus before heading to Lake Pueblo Archery Range to practice shooting archery.

On Thursday August 8th, the Nature & Wildlife Discovery Center team had an incredible staff retreat at the Mountain Campus!

We observed many trees that had been chewed and knocked over, and with the recent snow even some beaver track!
