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.

Caden

Leader In Training

I love teaching children what I know. I also really really really love SPREE. I want the kids at the camp to have as much fun as I did when I was there.

Litter is trash that isn’t thrown away properly. It makes parks less fun to be in, and can hurt animals and plants. With an adult – and some gloves – pick up litter in your neighborhood or local park.

Parent of SPREE Summer Camper

I tell all my family and friends in other cities about this amazing river and science camp in the heart of Denver. They can hardly believe it and wish their kids had the same opportunity.

River Ranger

From building connections to campers and relationships with each other, this experience has taught us all so much. The moments together are invaluable. The connections we’ve made go so much than coworkers. We have learned to become a family. And for that, I thank SPREE and The Greenway Foundation.

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.

SPREE School Teacher

Behavior management is always really good at SPREE. Your teachers are obviously trained to identify kids who might need extra support/jobs and make sure they will be successful, which in return makes the whole group successful.
