COLORADO TREKS CONTINUED THE "I AM NATURE" SCHOOL PROGRAM AT 2 DPS PROGRAM SITES. WE HAD TWO PROGRAM ASSISTANTS WORK PART TIME TO DELIVER PROGRAMMING, AS WELL AS A HUNTING/FISHING GUIDE VOLUNTEER. WE LAUNCHED OUR ADULT AND FAMILY PROGRAM, "MOUNTAIN MEDICINE", AND TOOK GROUPS OF ADULTS AND FAMILIES TO THE BACK-COUNTRY, AS WELL AS GROUPS OF ELDERS ON MONTHLY EXCURSIONS. WE CONTINUED OUR PROGRAM MODEL OF INDIVIDUAL CHECK-INS WITH EACH STUDENT ON A WEEKLY BASIS, IN ORDER TO MONITOR PROGRESS TOWARDS INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP GOALS. WE HAD OUR SECOND FAMILY RANCH DAY, WHERE FLAT TOP PARTICIPANTS COULD BRING THEIR WHOLE FAMILY TO EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH AND RIDING HORSES, AND OTHER RANCH ACTIVITIES. ALL EVENTS FOR "I AM NATURE- AND "MOUNTAIN MEDICINE" ARE 100% FREE FOR PARTICIPANTS. WE CELEBRATED THE 5TH YEAR OF OUR BIPOC ON THE ROCK PROGRAM, SERVING 60 PARTICIPANTS OF ALL AGES. EACH PARTICIPANT HAD ACCESS TO FREE ENTRY TO A STATE PARK, FREE GEAR USE, AND FREE ROCK CLIMBING INSTRUCTION AT EACH EVENT.
