Allow us to introduce ourselves.

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

Second Grade Teacher from Rocky Mountain Prep

SPREE Field Trip Teacher

I thought this was one of the best field trips I’ve ever taken my students on. Each activity was perfect for their age, super engaging, and timed well. It built well on what they’ve learned in science and they truly enjoyed it!

SPREE was an awesome experience (again) for my son. The reports we got from him and the SPREE staff at HQ all point to a summer of learning and growth – especially as they relate to him taking on the role of Leader in Training. It was a fantastic opportunity for him, and I want to thank you for all your work in pulling this together and creating a great pathway to more experience and responsibility within SPREE.

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.

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.

GLC has definitely changed the way I view the environment. My favorite part of GLC has been being able to go and do things I wouldn’t usually do, like rafting and trail building. I thought that was a really fun experience that you don’t usually get the chance to experience and I made a lot of really cool memories during those trips.
