About Camp Rocky

Your Next Adventure Awaits | Since 1964

Camp Rocky is an educational, week long residential camp for 14 through 17 year-olds who enjoy the outdoors and are interested in natural resources, agriculture, or environmental science.

Camp is located outside Divide, Colorado. Camp Rocky’s professional staff helps participants learn about their 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!

The Camp Rocky Program

Natural Resource Groups

Each camper will choose a natural resource topic to focus on for the week. Daily hands-on lessons and guest speakers who work in the specific field make this a fun way to explore a potential career and leave Camp with a deeper understanding of a specific topic

Whole-Camp Experiences

Some of our special guests and activities are too special to keep to one instruction group! The whole camp may gather to learn from speakers such as our area game warden, wildlife biologists who let us go hands-on stunning fish in Camp's stream to count populations, or wildland fire crews who talk to us about how they manage a healthy forest year-round

Traditional Camp Experience

We are at summer camp after all! In addition to a week packed full of instruction and hands-on experiential learning, all the facets you might think of with a traditional camp experience are present at Camp Rocky. Campfires, hikes, group games, etc. round out our days at camp.
