Gateway Arch National Park partners with Gateway Region YMCA on an annual basis to provide fun, immersive summer camp experiences. For ECO Rangers (ages 7-13), explore what lives in our lakes, ponds, streams, forests, and prairie lands. Do the same macros live in the creeks and ponds? What birds and animals live in the prairie lands vs woodlands? Fish the lakes and rivers, fine tune your archery marksmanship, net for macros in ponds, and search for the birds in our Missouri’s public lands.
