October 2023 – Ranger Ramblings

This fall, our Earth Studies students got to see incredible biodiversity firsthand on their first trip of the year to visit us!

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

Recent snowfall had provided a surge of moisture for the moss to absorb, leaving the north-facing wall of the canyon lush and green.

For local owl enthusiast Olivia Abeyta-Maestas, who had donned an owl-themed hat for the evening, it was an unforgettable moment.

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.

Turkey vultures—gross but loveable creatures—have returned from their annual migration south for the winter!
