2024 River Conservation and Fly Fishing Camp - Another HUGE Success!

Last week (June 9th - 15th) Colorado Trout Unlimited volunteers and partners came together in Almont, CO to host this year’s River Conservation and Fly Fishing Camp. This year we had 23 adventurous teens attend from all over Colorado and beyond. We also had 15 Senior Counselors and 6 Junior Counselors volunteer and help lead, mentor, and guide our campers this year.

Below are some fun preliminary pictures from this year’s camp!
