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.

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.

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

Creating moments. Moments that create memories leading to generational momentum around the importance of water and our South Platte River. This is what The Greenway Foundation and their South Platte River Environmental Education (SPREE) provide to the residents of Denver. From overnight camping, to s’mores, to SPREE summer day camps, I have had so many great moments and memories along the South Platte River with my daughter. A truly special thanks to The Greenway Foundation, as well as Denver’s Department of Parks and Recreation, for continuing to champion and improve both the resiliency and the recreation along our beloved South Platte River.

Dad, can I come to SPREE every year? It’s my favorite!

GLC Participant & River Ranger

The Greenway Foundation has helped direct my track in my current major. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to learn about in college but my experiences through The Greenway Leadership Corps (GLC) and River Rangers helped me understand that ecology is much more than human’s interactions with the environment. I am now an Earth Science major at Dartmouth College, studying soil sciences with a focus on Agricultural systems – a huge shift from my previous thoughts before my Greenway experiences.

The activities were great. They were informative and engaging! The SPREE teachers were prepared, thoughtful and knew how to work with the kids.
