Camp Colton is having a volunteer day scheduled for Saturday, August 28 from 9 - 12 am and would love our help. 
  • Camp Colton is located approximately 15 miles north of downtown Flagstaff.  Travel north on Hwy 180 until you pass mile marker 225.  Turn right onto dirt road; FS 151.  Drive 3.8 miles.  Look for the cattle shoot, cattle guard, split rail fence and silver gate on the right side.  
 
 
More details: Join us on Saturday, August 28 from 9-12 pm (volunteers are welcome to stay longer) to spruce up Camp. Help us paint, deep clean the lodge, remove invasive weeds, rake the driveway and prep slash piles. Please bring gloves, rock rakes, wheelbarrows, pointed shovels as well as a lunch (we'll provide snacks and drinks!). If you have special expertise or equipment that might be useful around Camp, please let us know. 
 
It would be wonderful to know a rough number in advance but definitely not necessary.
 
I know that those of us who participated in this clean-up a few years really enjoyed this work day. Below is some information about Camp Colton:
 
Camp Colton is a residential environmental education center that is owned by the Flagstaff Unified School District (FUSD). FUSD created the program (previously known as Project L.I.F.E.- Life In the Flagstaff Environment) in 1971 to introduce children to the local environment and increase their understanding of science and nature through outdoor experiences.
 
“FUSD students attend Camp Colton at no cost as an integrated part of their science studies. Accompanied by their classroom teachers and taught by the Camp’s staff of environmental educators, students spend four-days and three-nights at Camp Colton learning about the natural environment through experiential and inquiry-based classes, field expeditions, and presentations by local science agencies and organizations. Campers also enjoy recreational activities and outdoor experiences such as hiking, campfire songs, square dancing, games, arts and crafts, and the adventures associated with outdoor and off-grid living.”
 
Thank you and please let me know if you have other questions.
