2025 Camp Rocky Registrations Now Open; Full Scholarships Available from FCD

Fremont Conservation District is proud to offer full scholarships for Camp Rocky 2025.

Camp Rocky is a week long educational, residential camp for ages 14-17 who enjoy the outdoors and are interested in natural resources, agriculture, and environmental science.

The camp is located outside of Divide, Colorado, and will run July 6th-11th this year.

Camp Rocky’s professional staff helps campers learn about the environment through hands-on experiences. Students work in teams, making new friends from across Colorado.

Each year new and returning students choose one of the following resource fields for their area of focus: Rangeland Science, Forestry Management, Soil and Water Science, Fish and Wildlife Management.

At the end of the week, students will use their group learning plan to complete a management project. Additional camper activities include volleyball games, hiking, campfires, group challenges, nightly natural resource presentations, and a talent show!
