CAIRN Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado Youth, share this with your students

What is the Cairn Youth Program?  

The Cairn Youth Program is Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado’s (VOC) award-winning high school program that teaches kids about stewardship and the environment through engaging projects and recreation activities, which take place with partner organizations such as Colorado State Parks, Jefferson County Outdoor Lab, and Flying W Ranch.
