The Greenway Foundation

A cleaner, safer, more accessible river for all.

Ever biked along the South Platte River, picnicked in Confluence Park, attended a SPREE excursion or summer camp, or caught a trout in downtown Denver? Then you know The Greenway Foundation’s work.

Allow us to introduce ourselves.

What We Do
Ways to Give

We are a group of passionate stewards who care for the South Platte River and its tributaries, and for the people who live, work, and play along its banks.

City Council Member, District 7

Denver would not be the City that it is without the efforts of The Greenway Foundation. The revitalization of the South Platte has defined who we are as a city, and the thousands of kids who have gone through the SPREE program have created a city full of river stewards who are redefining who we will become.

SPREE is hands down (my child’s) favorite camp EVER and she has dedicated a spot in her room specifically to “SPREE Memories.”

My boys have been talking about SPREE camp for months. When we were looking at all the camps in Denver for this summer, the first camp they shouted out was “SPREE!”

 
Chompers – Mission 10

Wait for a day when it is raining or snowing. This is precipitation, or water that falls from the sky. All this water eventually becomes part of the lakes and rivers in our ecosystem. Stand in the precipitation. How do you feel? Notice what it looks like when it reaches the ground. Stomp around and listen. What do you hear?

 
Chompers – Mission 5

Find a good book. Make sure it’s one you really want to read. Now, take that book outside. Find a comfy spot and read for 30 minutes. When you’re done, think about how you feel.

Parent of SPREE Summer Camper

They always come home having learned quite a lot of good things, about recycling, or invertebrates who live in the South Platte River, or the wildlife around here. They have fun, and it seems to be a nice balance of learning and playing.
