You’ll gain field archery instructor and fishing instructor support skills, hone outdoor team-building and leadership activities, and learn to craft hands-on field trips that spark student growth and deepen your ability to teach responsible recreation behaviors. We’ll also explore a guided local hike in Ouray, discovering ways to turn every trail into a living classroom. Recharge around the campfire in the evening as you connect with fellow educators and return to school ready to lead transformative outdoor adventures.

You will learn the importance of fire safety and the difference between good and bad fires.

Lake Appreciation Day is a day of stewardship, environmental education, and connecting with the outdoors. It's about giving back to our reservoir by helping to keep it clean!

Come enjoy a rootbeer float and have a conversation with our rangers while enjoying the reservoir scenery.

Come and play a fishing game and see how many (toy) bass you can catch.
