“Predators and Prey: Uncover the Wild Side of Nature!”

In Predators and Prey, a thrilling partnership with the San Juan Mountain Association, campers will explore the fascinating dynamics of predator-prey relationships in ecosystems around the world. Throughout the week, students will uncover the incredible adaptations that help predators hunt and allow prey to evade capture. Through hands-on activities, students will investigate food chains, food webs, and the critical roles these interactions play in nature. Highlights include exciting hunting and camouflage games and a special visit to the Wolfwood Refuge near Durango, where campers will get an up-close look at wolves and other predators, learning about their importance in maintaining ecological balance. This immersive experience provides campers with a rare opportunity to meet some of the region’s most awe-inspiring predators. With a perfect blend of adventure, education, and wildlife encounters, Predators and Prey fosters a love for the natural world and a deeper understanding of its delicate balance.

Telluride Academy's Overnight Policy

Our talented instructors work hard to combat student homesickness on overnight programs. For many students, this experience might be their first time camping or away from home! In the days leading up to the overnight(s), the instructors have positive conversations with the groups to get them excited and prepared for their overnight adventures. This dynamic gets interrupted when a student is picked up early from their overnight. For this reason, we can not accommodate early pick-ups, unless in the case of an emergency. If your child does not want to attend the overnight, or if you have prior commitments that require early pick-up accommodations, we ask that you consider choosing a day program instead. Please call our office with any questions or concerns.
