What Are Young Explorers
Message from our Director, Amy Harman
Check out our new Boulder Young Explorer program! We will get children outside to explore their community and nature. To offer a quality program, we are limiting enrollment to 13 per week.
Our goal is to be outside, exploring, learning, and having fun all summer long. Check out the list of outings we will do in our brand-new school bus! Activities range from hiking around Boulder County, to visiting the Denver Zoo or Museum of Nature & Science.
Our home base facility sits on 4 acres of land where children can garden, play, and participate in a great variety of activities. We will utilize our indoor space to cool off on hot days, eat, play and to escape bad weather days.
Young Explorers is a full day program; 9 am to 4 pm. We have extended wraparound hours from 8 am to 9am and from 4-4:30pm at $13.57/HR extra.
Our limited spots are filling fast!
See you this summer!

The goal of the Young Explorers program is to get children out and exploring their community. Young Explorers will be in the foothills; hiking, biking, on nature walks, and more! We have a new bus with the latest safety features (including integrated child seats and young adult seat belts), that will allow us to go out and explore nearly every day. When we are not out on an adventure we have four acres on which to build projects, create science experiments, garden, play soccer, or run in the sprinklers. On bad weather days, we have an indoor facility (at our home base) to do crafts, and cooking projects, as well as reading, experimenting, and learning.
