  • Outdoor Inquiry Project
    Rising 9th-12th Graders 
    Sliding Scale

    Outdoor Inquiry Project gives teens the chance to step into the role of a field scientist, exploring the Colorado wilderness through hands-on research and discovery. Working alongside professional scientists and educators, campers will investigate topics like fire ecology, forest restoration, and local wildlife, gaining real-world insight into how science informs conservation. Each day blends time in the field collecting data for their very own research project that they will get to present to the younger campers onsite at the end of the week. 

    As they hike through forests, observe wildlife, and conduct experiments, campers will build confidence in their ability to do science outdoors and see themselves as capable contributors to environmental research. Along the way, they’ll learn about a variety of STEM career paths and develop valuable skills in observation, collaboration, and problem-solving. Outdoor Inquiry Project is an inspiring week for teens who are curious about the natural world and eager to turn that curiosity into action.

    During registration, you will be asked to pay the full cost of camp and upload the following:

    1. A picture of your child
    2. Current Well Child Check (medical record)
