Boys and Girls Clubs of Pueblo County recognizes Lake Pueblo rangers for life-saving efforts
PUEBLO COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) -- Boys & Girls Clubs of Pueblo County recognized Lake Pueblo State Park Rangers for their lifesaving efforts and hands-on outdoor education that turned the park into a summer classroom for youth ages 6–18 on July 30.
Aneal is in third grade and is part of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Pueblo County- club youth. The group of 14 kids has been working closely with the rangers and wanted to find a way to say thank you.
"We gave them a big thank you, and we gave them certificates, and we told them how good they did," said Aneal.
Yenny Espinosa Nino with Boys & Girls Clubs of Pueblo County said it was so much more than a bonding experience.
"We have partnered with Lake Pueblo State Park on programming. We do weekly programming during the summer time. As well as we are, now doing a purely internship opportunity with one of our youth," said Espinosa Nino. "Youth are able to talk to them as well, so that maybe they potentially want careers, at the park."
The kids designed certificates for the rangers and thanked them for their service, which left the rangers appreciative.
"They blessed us with some really amazing, appreciation superheroes certificates and some thank you bracelets. So I've got my friendship bracelet on here today. From these kiddos that they made, to just show us a little bit of thanks," said Ella Trask, ranger.
