Summer Programs

May 10, 2008 -- August 30, 2008


  • We are gearing up for summer with several new events, including a Summer Solstice program at Canyon Pintado, a geology tour of Steamboat with Newell Campbell, author of "Geology Profiles of the Steamboat Springs Area" and a Hike with a Ranger program on which Wildlife Biologist Robert Skorkowsky will show us how our forests are changing through blowdown, fire, beetles, and logging. We continue to improve upon our children's camps and they are already beginning to fill! Please click on the links above to register yourself or your child for summer programs.

  • A New Director

  •  
  • Yampatika has a new director. Sonja Macys, the former director of the Tucson Audobon Society, began as the new director on April 1, 2008. She will replace Jenn Wright, who is about to take on the job of "mother." We are pleased to have found Sonja and hope that you all get to meet her.

Sponsors are Critical

Sponsors allow us to put on our programs at the lowest possible cost and our offerings possible. Please look at the advantages of being a sponsor and a list of the programs needing sponsors.


Our new "Grazing Event"!

In past years we have held a "Wild Edible Feast." In 2008, we are modifying the theme to be a "Grazing Event." This evening of food and fun will provide attendees an opportunity to sample local and regional appetizers, libations and desserts. It will take place June 4th at the Vogel House in downtown Steamboat Springs from 5:30pm-8:30pm. Learn about Yampatika's activities on a scavenger hunt through the B & B. While you are searching for answers, you'll sample regional foods and shop for goodies at our silent auction. Tickets are $55 per person or $100 if you bring a guest. This event always sells out! We encourage you to get your reservations in early.
This program is sponsored by Comcast.
