Wilderness Education Programs CU Science Discovery will offer 13 summer wilderness trips to school age students this year. Our mission is to connect youth with the environment with the hope that students gain a lifelong respect for the natural world. Trips vary in length from 5 to 14 days depending up on the age group. Each trip focuses on the unique natural and cultural features of the area. An adventure component such as backpacking, rafting, climbing, canoeing or a ropes course facilitates community building, self-reliance, interdependence and leadership skills.
Students furnish their own tent, sleeping bag and personal gear.
Group gear and food is provided. Student participation in all phases of the trip is integral to building community. Maximum 12 students per trip with three instructors.
