BOULDER — Deputies with the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office spent Wednesday night responding to a Boulder High senior class camping trip that got out of hand in the area of Gordon Gulch.
In the end, three students were taken by ambulance to the Boulder Community Hospital for problems related to overconsumption of alcohol, three more were taken to the alcohol recovery center, and one student was arrested on suspicion of third-degree assault and released to her parents.
Gordon Gulch is on Colo. 72 between Nederland and Ward. When deputies arrived, they found about 200 students camping in the area, according to Sheriff’s Office spokesman Rick Brough.
Due to the large number of students and the inclement weather that was moving in, the deputies remained on scene overnight to maintain order and provide medical assistance, Brough said.
When deputies discovered that the students had alcohol, they made them pour it out.
Later in the evening, several students had to receive treatment for alcohol consumption, and, in the morning, additional deputies went to the campsite to help students leave the area. A tow truck was requested to help move 40 to 50 cars that had become stuck. Those students will be billed later, according to Brough.
