Getting kids out of doors! A positive step from the Secretary of the Interior that will impact camps who serve youth who may have barriers to get into the wilderness and other public lands. Sonlight Camp does hold current permits to access the San Juan National Forest, we are well familiar with the work to secure and maintain permits. This step by the Secretary of the Interior is a nice confirmation of the importance of getting kids outside!
