Customized Field Experience

Poudre Learning Center offers a wide array of curricular options that follow the Colorado Academic Standards. If you wish to engage your students with learning opportunities in a beautiful outdoor setting that includes river corridor wilds, expansive native grassland prairie, lakes, and majestic rocky mountain views, we are here to support you! We offer planning assistance for field experiences here at our 65 acre learning outdoor laboratory and at your school classroom. Our full lineup of equipment includes Vernier labquest, spotting scopes, microscopes, water testing kits and much more. We would love to work with you to design investigations to meet standards and inspire curiosity.
