FLOAT V Nature Camp, June 25 - July 1
McFarland Park, Story County
Thursday, June 25, 2015
Fun-loving Outdoor Adventure Team (FLOAT V) is for youth completing grades 9-12 spring 2015.
Join Story County Conservation naturalists on a 7-day backpacking adventure to Rocky Mountain National Park! Campers will spend three nights backcountry camping in over 200,000 acres of wilderness at our nation's highest national park. Surround yourself with crystal clear lakes, rugged peaks, and vast meadows. Explore the eastern mountain range and discover secluded waterfalls. Once we leave the backcountry, the adventure continues with a breathtaking two-hour horseback ride through the Hidden Meadow. Immerse yourself in the wilderness. Challenge your mind, body, and spirit to make it a summer to remember. Space is limited!
June 12, 9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. (training day); June 25, 9:00 a.m.-July 1, 4:00 p.m. (overnight).
How do you earn a spot? Go to http://bit.ly/SCCProgramsandEvents, complete an application, and deliver it to McFarland Park by 4:00 p.m. on May 8. If selected, you will begin your journey with a training day on June 12 at McFarland Park, where you will prepare for your adventure! Backpacking is a very physical activity, so you will want to be in decent shape before we leave. SCC will provide backpacks, tents, water filters, stoves, and food. Participants are responsible for meals on the road, sleeping bags and pads, water bottles, and clothing.
