camping with spree
Johnson Habitat Park is not only Denver’s premier environmental education park, it is also the only park that allows our city’s youngsters and their families to camp overnight within city limits at a SPREE program. TGF’s SPREE team offers young people and their families the opportunity to pitch a tent, cook over an open fire and attempt to catch a trout within the River, right in the very heart of Denver.
As part of June’s Great Outdoors Month, The Greenway Foundation, Get Outdoors Coalition Colorado, and the USDA Forest Service teamed up with The Coleman Company, Denver’s Department of Parks and Recreation, and Albertsons to create an unforgettable night under the stars for 20 urban youth from the nearby Sun Valley Neighborhood. These youngsters and their families experienced a campfire, s’mores, music, stories and songs. Everyone came away from the evening with the introduction they need to continue a lifetime of enjoying the outdoors and sharing that love with family and friends.
