Get the biggest memory card you can afford. With Prime Day starting in a few hours, I have no doubt memory cards will eventually be featured. 128GB, Class 10, UHS-1 (or 3), V60 (or 90). Larger numbers are better.
If you really want to get into video, think about an inexpensive rig.

As a beginner, look at the $30 end. I have an ebay version of this. This one gets a lot of positive reviews and is only $20.
Video takes an insane amount of light. Since you are going to be in Colorado in the summer, shouldn't be an issue. Having said that, if you are going to be shooting in low light situations, you need a light. I have this one.
Finally, sound. If sound is important to what you are shooting, think about an external recorder. Internal mics are a huge compromise compared to even an inexpensive recorder can do. For $100 the Tascam DR-5 is more than adequate.
Ok, now having said that, the only thing you REALLY need to buy is the memory card. Everything else is optional. You can hand shoot with natural light and the internal mic and get great video. Its just a lot harder. Hard is not impossible, it just takes more practice.
Google around and you will find a ton of tutorials on how to shoot video with a DSLR. A few things that stuck in my mind:
Shoot 10-1. If you want a minute of video you need to shoot 10 minutes and edit it down.
Pan slowly. Go as slow as you can. Now go slower. Its amazing how "fast" any movement is when you are recording it.
Shoot low and away. Literally the opposite of what you want to shoot a still image. You need to get the camera away from your face because your breath is loud and will cause shake.
Shoot early and late. Start shooting BEFORE the event you want to get happens and keep shooting through that event. If you dont you wont have any edit room. Its not like you are buying tape/film so shoot as much as your sensor can handle.
Hope this helps! Im in Colorado Springs next week and you reminded me to pack my rig! Thanks!
