OSCAR OF THE OUTDOORS

Western Slope Outdoor Recreation Industry Celebration

"People often ask why we take students camping—why a school district invests in experiences like that. Our answer is always the same: outdoor learning is one of the few opportunities every child in our community can access.That’s why partnerships matter so deeply. Our students need supportive adults and organizations who believe in creating the next generation of outdoor leaders, problem-solvers, and stewards of this place we share.To our community partners: thank you. Your support, collaboration, and commitment make these experiences possible. We truly couldn’t do this work without you."

We’re grateful to our partners and supporters who help us create these meaningful experiences for students every day.
