Family Friendly Field Station

The Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory is located in Gothic, Colorado, near Crested Butte.  In addition to world class research being done, this field station is also host an exceptional science and nature summer camp taught by highly qualified educators.  My sons have attended this camp and loved it.  Camp attendees learn about the natural world from the researchers who are on the edge of discovery more about it.  The children see real experiments being done, and watch marmots and foxes play.  This family friendly research environment has spanned many generations, and is talked about in the posts stories below.
