Children will play games, do crafts and study insects and their relatives in this interesting, fun and free camp.

Bugs & Buddies takes place from 9:30 a.m. to noon, July 8-11, at Denny Lake in Cortez. Children ages 6-10 are welcome, and preregistration is required as space is limited. One parent per day is required to stay and help with the camp. Contact San Juan Mountains Association for more information and to register at (970) 759-1170 or gabi@sjma.org.

SJMA is a nonprofit membership organization that supports responsible care of natural and cultural resources through education and hands-on involvement that inspires respect and reverence for public lands. Camp is made possible with support from San Juan National Forest and BLM Tres Rios Field Office.
