School Programs
At Walking Mountains Science Center, science is an adventure you can touch, see, and explore!
Our hands-on programs take students from the classroom to the creek, the trails, and beyond, turning every lesson into an exciting discovery. From K‑8 field trips that bring science to life, to after-school STEM challenges, Girls in Science programs, and summer camps bursting with curiosity, we spark wonder and ignite a love of learning in every corner of our valley. Whether uncovering tiny critters in a mountain stream or experimenting with the latest hands-on tech, students don’t just learn science — they experience it. At Walking Mountains, we’re building confident, curious environmental heroes… and having a ton of fun along the way!
Field Science Programs
Working in conjunction with the local school district and private schools, Walking Mountains serves students in Eagle County and beyond through natural science field trips that take place in nature, complement classroom curriculum, and narrows the achievement gap by enhancing scientific and environmental literacy.
Girls in Science
Girls in Science is an after-school program that nurtures and inspires an interest in science for girls in the 3rd through 5th grade. The program was developed to address a national trend of girls falling academically behind in science by their middle and high school years.
The Girls in Science program is generously underwritten by the US Bank Foundation and Xcel Energy Foundation.
Sowing Seeds
For seven years, Sowing Seeds has introduced young students in Eagle County to the world of gardening, healthy eating and environmental stewardship. Stem by stem, leaf by leaf, hundreds of children have learned a valuable lesson: that time, patience, and constant care create amazing results.
