One of the best outdoor education experiences in Colorado!
We have created unique learning opportunities with our programs, blending scientific inquiry with hands-on exploration, adventure and creative expression to accommodate all learning styles. Classes are designed to provide outdoor experiences that support specific and ongoing classroom content for 4th through 8th grade level. In addition, we can modify classes to meet K-8 grade level, and Colorado state educational standards. The Outdoor Education Coordinator can assist teachers and group leaders to incorporate outdoor education into their curriculum. Our talented staff is comprised of experienced educators trained to lead the offered classes. We provide easy spring, summer and fall access to the Rocky Mountains and close proximity to Front Range and Denver communities. We invite you to join us for a fun filled outdoor educational experience!
