Our Mission
To increase community and business involvement in support of the Jefferson County
Outdoor Education Laboratory Schools.
About the Outdoor Lab Foundation
The Outdoor Education Laboratory Schools (OELS) have been enriching the lives
of sixth grade and high school students in Jefferson County since 1957.
Mount Evans and Windy Peak Outdoor Education Laboratory Schools give students
the opportunity to explore and experience subjects such as earth science,
wildlife, biology, astronomy, and ecology, in a unique mountain setting.
By engaging the student in problem solving, team building, decision-making
and social participation, the OELS program helps to prepare Jeffco students
for successful futures.
The Outdoor Lab Foundation was established as a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization
to ensure the preservation and continuation of the OELS program. The
foundation is forging relationships with businesses, community and ono-profit
organizations is support of the Outdoor Lab Schools.
It is through relationships with all interest groups that the Outdoor Lab Foundation
hopes to build a stronger community that will keep inspiring our youth
to learn. |
