E-CAMP (Environmental Career Awareness for Middle School Peers) is our program for students in grades 6-8! We go on outdoor adventures and explore nature; it’s all about learning and hanging out with friends and peers. E-CAMP runs in the summer, fall and spring; each section is a little different, scroll down for a full description of each program. Each session focuses on positive experiences in nature, building community and learning about the natural world around us.

Spring ECAMP Dates and Description
This spring our focus will be on outdoor recreation, its impacts on natural resources, and how we manage our public lands. As with all of our programs, ECAMP will be led by CSU undergraduate students. Through their courses, internships, and research experiences, they have the most up to date knowledge on these topics. Plus, they’re very enthusiastic and full of passion! Join us this spring!
February 20
We’re going to focus on birds and the importance of wetland habitats. Join us to learn how to bird, do some birding, and explore the positive and negative impacts of recreation on our avian friends. ***This program has been cancelled due to low enrollment.***
April 21
On the eve of Earth Day, we’ll focus on some service learning related to recreation impacts. We’ll sprinkle in some recreation of our own – – perhaps some tracking, geocaching, or birding will be in store!
