• Learn valuable family camping skills and tips from the Camp Moreno Project, a program which aims to introduce Hispanic and African American kids and their families to the fun of the outdoors.
• Celebrate Rocky Mountain National Park’s 100th Birthday, meet Isabella Bird, an explorer and hiker in the park during the 1870s, and learn about the park’s past.
• In honor of Mexican Independence Day, the History Colorado Center will have two traditional musical performances.
  • Tzotzollin y Grupo Conchero will play and dance to Conchero music from the indigenous communities who take part in Chichimeca/Mexica (Aztec) traditions.
  • Grupo Folklorico Sabor Latino will perform the indigenous dances of Central Mexico.
