Cal-Wood’s mission is to offer a unique outdoor educational experience to youth and adults. Our founding vision has guided our organization since 1982: to inspire a greater appreciation for the natural world; to offer environmental education to those who would not otherwise experience it; and to provide unique educational opportunities in a special mountain setting.
Located less than 20 miles west of Boulder in Jamestown, our 1,200- acre outdoor classroom features pristine Ponderosa Pine forest, diverse wildlife and plants, nine miles of trails, meadows, peaks, ponds, streams, a waterfall, a 1901 homestead, a once-active mica mine, camping areas, cabins, and a lodge. Cal-wood has provided outdoor and environmental educational experiences on site to hundreds of thousands of Coloradans with an annual reach of more than 4000 individuals.
