Park Ranger Jeremy RisingBuffalo Maybee

Camp #10 at Rocky Mountain National Park was pretty spectacular! Our campers were captivated by the incredible knowledge shared by the rangers about the greenback cutthroat trout, a species with a remarkable story of survival and conservation. The experience was made even more special by our amazing volunteers who took the time to teach all our educators how to fly fish—such a fun and educational experience for everyone!

We are so grateful to the Rocky Mountain Conservancy for providing us with tents and campsites, ensuring that our time in the park was comfortable and connected with nature.

But the moment that truly touched our hearts was our visit with Park Ranger, Rising Buffalo. We first met him at Chaco Culture National Historical Park in 2020 and were thrilled to hear that he moved to ROMO last year. His storytelling and encouragement to delve deeper into the history and significance of the places we live in resonated with all of us. His presence added a meaningful layer to our camp, reminding us of the importance of connecting with the native people within each park.

#STEAMinthePARK connects and collaborates with over 400 educators each summer across 12 national parks, but it's moments like these, learning from and with the native people, that stay with us forever.
