We are very excited to begin offerring full capacity programs this Spring, we have created multiple options for schools to engage with Cal-Wood, including our traditional residential program, day trips, instructors coming to schools, and virtual lessons.

This program is offered during the 2020/21 school year, and possibly will be offered in 2021/22 depending on school district policies.

RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Our 1,200-acre mountain site in Boulder County serves as our outdoor classroom where students immerse in nature for 3-days/2 nights. During their Cal-Wood experience, each student receives a total of 31.5 hours of science and environmental education programming, compared to 1-4 hours in most programs.. All Cal-Wood programs are customized to meet the academic, social and linguistic needs of each school. As our expert staff leads students through hands-on, field-based exploration of local plants, animals, snow science, fire ecology, forestry, geology, and pond ecosystems, children connect to nature and each other.
