Our Mission
Keystone Science School inspires curiosity and critical thinking through the lens of science to change lives and strengthen communities. We create future leaders who can problem solve and work together in an ever-evolving world and workplace environment.
2021 Summer Camp & Adventures
Experience the Rocky Mountains of Colorado through our traditional Day Camp and Overnight Camp or the excitement of traveling Discovery Adventures and Expeditions. Campers will create lifelong friendships, explore and learn about the natural world, and gain leadership and wilderness skills.
Since 1976, our beautiful, 23-acre campus nestled in the mountains along the Continental Divide has served the perfect basecamp for a summer full of adventure and new friends.
