Girl Scout Journey in a Day: Think Like a Citizen Scientist

Join Bird Conservancy of the Rockies and take part in a Journey in a Day on Saturday, April 29, 2023! The planned activities will help you work toward fulfilling the requirements for the Think Like A Citizen Scientist Journey and you will take away great ideas for your Take Action project. Learn all about birds, biodiversity and what makes a healthy ecosystem! Also learn how you can contribute meaningful data to science by observing the natural world around you!

The formal program will run from 9:45 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. but you are welcome to arrive early or stay late and enjoy Barr Lake State Park. We will break for lunch on your own (we’ll provide the space, you provide the lunch) from 12-12:45 p.m. and reconvene at 1 p.m. Be sure to bring water bottles, hats, sunscreen, insect repellant, and anything else you need to be comfortable in the outdoors all day.

Please note a $10 daily or an annual Colorado State Park Pass will be required for entry into the park. Daily passes are valid until noon the following day.

This event is for Girl Scout Juniors, Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors. This is not a drop-off event. All girls must be accompanied by their caregiver or attend with their troop. Adult safety ratios must be followed.

We will send out final details two days before the event with parking and driving directions but feel free to reach out if you have any questions prior to that.

Scholarship funds are available on a first-come, first-served need basis. If you would like to apply for a scholarship please stop and reach out to Sherry Nickolaus at [email protected] for an application. Scholarship funds must be awarded before registration is complete. Thank you!
