Homeschool Program
Boulder/Denver
Ready for close encounters with nature?! Our program will explore some of the most majestic and wild parts of Colorado’s diverse ecosystems - from the peaks of the Rocky Mountains, down the snow melt rivers and into the golden prairies - we will immerse ourselves in the natural world and learn all about the fascinating science behind it!
​
Through the 'Close Encounters with Nature’s Wonders' course, students will have fun learning to observe nature, gather information and analyze ideas about natural processes.
​
Our program extends this learning and helps students make connections to larger global environmental issues. Rugged Research helps students develop a more mindful awareness of their everyday encounters with the natural world and fosters resilience and confidence while decreasing stress in their lives.
