Our Summer Programming is a great option for your kiddo, whether you are looking to introduce a new sport or level up in skill, strength and motivation, we’ve got you covered.

Since 1988, getting youth outside on public lands has been at the heart of SJMA’s conservation education program. In addition to spring break camp and after-school programming, SJMA offers week-long summer camps to both elementary-aged children (rising 1st – 6th graders) and middle / high school aged kids (7th - 12th graders) to spend time exploring and learning about the San Juan mountains and rivers. Campers leave camp with memories, new friends, and a better understanding of the world in which they live.
