What do sixth graders really think about their week at Outdoor Lab? We asked, and more than 1,000 students shared their thoughts!

From discovering new interests and building connections with High School Leaders to learning the importance of stewardship, students reflected on their experiences and how they'll carry those lessons into everyday life.

Thanks to young men and women from Scout Troop 200 - Applewood, Mt. Blue Sky has a new Whale Watch element for their Initiatives class!

This piece requires 6th grade students to communicate, collaborate and find balance amongst each other. This helps build community and provides a fun way for students to develop life skills.

We think archery is a pretty neat way to learn about the forces of movement—think potential energy, kinetic energy and friction!

Help us keep this outdoor classroom looking its best by giving the archery range deck a fresh coat of paint.

The Foundation is grateful for the support of High School Interns this year! They are helping us with community outreach events spreading the word on how awesome Outdoor Lab is! We asked Jules to introduce herself. Please give her a warm Outdoor Lab welcome!

"Hi, I’m Jules! I’m a senior at Lakewood High School, and an intern with the Outdoor Lab Foundation. I love camping, hiking, lake days, and all things outdoors! Last fall, I was a High School Leader with Outdoor Lab, and I’m excited to hopefully return a few more times this year. I work at a local ice cream shop and run multiple clubs at my school. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, going to concerts, doing crafts, baking, taking long drives, and exploring new places. I grew up going to summer camp and have spent the past few summers as both a counselor and program planner. I find working with kids and spending time in nature so rewarding. After high school, I plan to study outdoor education and adventure leadership in college, and I’m excited to continue sharing my passion for the outdoors with others through this internship."

Welcome Jules!!!! by @outdoorlabfoundation

🔥 Campfire flavor for a great cause! 🍦

Stop by Power Cone in Arvada and treat yourself to a Campfire Ice Cream Cone benefiting Outdoor Lab!

This camp-inspired treat is topped with toasted marshmallow fluff and a bright, all-natural, dye-free sprinkle blend from Super Natural—all piled onto a crispy waffle cone.

The sweetest part? $1 from every Campfire Cone sold supports Outdoor Lab!

Grab a cone, savor a little taste of the campfire, and help more students experience the adventure of Outdoor Lab. 🏕️

People who volunteer in early adulthood are more optimistic, more sociable, and display less stress.

Outdoor Lab provides 1,000 volunteer opportunities for high school students every year.

Giving back, gives back.

✨Thank you for helping Outdoor Lab remain a transformative experience for generations of Jeffco students.

✨We look forward to building on this momentum and continuing our mission to make Outdoor Lab accessible, impactful, and unforgettable in the year ahead. by @outdoorlabfoundation
