We love our Borton Earthkeepers! Last week, our friends at Borton visited Camp Cooper for our Earthkeepers field trip! Three days of discovering our Sonoran classroom, students earned their Earthkeeper keys and unlocked the mysteries that connect all lviing things. #Earthkeepers

Ouch! This poor mule deer can been seen clearly with a cholla ball stuck to their lip. It's a fairly common occurrence to see on #TrailcamTuesday. It isn't preventing this deer from drinking or eating and will work itself loose over time. #Deer #Cholla #DesertLife 🦌 🌵 😭

What does the sun have to do with mountain lions eating? Super-smart Cragin Elementary 5th graders visited Camp Cooper to learn how energy from the sun plays a key role in food chains from plants all the way up to prey and predator animals! #Food #Plants #Animals #SolarPower
