JeffCo 4H Environmental Discovery Camp Accepting Campers

GOLDEN, CO – JeffCo kids, grades third-sixth, can get an outdoor Colorado experience this summer at the Eagle’s Nest Owl’s Roost (ENOR) Environmental Discovery Camp, sponsored by the CSU Extension Jefferson County 4-H.

The award-winning camp has been going since 1974 with a philosophy that focuses on science, math, history, drama, art, and teamwork – with environmental and social themes.

Day camps costing $225 a week (with a $20 sibling discount) are headquartered at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds in Golden, and a second location at the APEX Center in Arvada, but the camp day includes hiking in local parks and open spaces. Campers are transported by Jeffco Public School buses to different locations each day.

The camp staff consists of "highly qualified and trained professionals who are CPR/First Aid certified," the camp brochure states. Many are licensed teachers. The camp is recognized as a licensed child care provider.

Drop-off daily is between 7:30 - 8 a.m. and pickup daily: 4-4:30 p.m. Parents are responsible for transportation to and from drop-off location.
