Cal-Wood has provided residential environmental and outdoor education experiences to hundreds of thousands of Coloradans since 1982 at our 1,200-acre classroom located west of Boulder Colorado. Our mission is to connect children and families to the Colorado Mountains through our Residential Science School Programs, Summer Camps, Latino Family Camps, Middle and High School Programs and through Wildfire Research Programs. Our high quality programs have received several awards for serving linguistically diverse audiences.
In all of our programming, Cal-Wood incorporates best practices of environmental and STEM education. We break down socio-economic and cultural barriers for nature-based learning, we model conservation and stewardship and we connect with English Language Learners through innovative and differentiated instruction through Sheltered English instruction integrating language and content instruction.
