X-Treme Camp

Children Ages 10-15

Due to COVID-19, all summer camp programs are regrettably suspended for 2020.  However, we look forward to offering camp next year.  Check back in spring 2021 for summer camp information.

We’re adding an “x-treme” dash of fun to the summer for ages 10-15, by hitting the road for exciting day trips! Join us on one or more of the adventures below. We’ll ride horses, cruise rivers, visit historic sites, and more.

All trips depart from and return to Rock Springs Nature Center. Campers bring a sack lunch. A fee of $60/camper for each trip covers all of the day’s activities and transportation.
