What is Kids Nature Camp at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory?
We explore the natural environment of the forests, meadows, and mountains surrounding RMBL in Gothic, Colorado. Through nature awareness games, hands-on field science, nature hikes, guided wandering, nature-inspired art, journaling, story-telling, lab experiments, meeting with RMBL scientists and more… our campers learn to observe, appreciate, and ask questions about mountain ecosystems. Participants have the unique opportunity to meet and observe real field scientists at work and learn research skills such as observing wildlife, trapping and tagging animals, and collecting data. RMBL Kids Nature Camp teaches kids that science is important and FUN!
