Outdoor Lab Foundation

The Outdoor Lab Foundation (OLF) was founded in 2003 to spearhead strategic decision-making and fundraising efforts on behalf of the Jefferson County Outdoor Lab Schools. Outdoor Lab’s programming is a rigorous and scaffolded experience tied to JeffCo’s overall curriculum and aims to develop stewardship of self, community, and environment. It engages all Jefferson County sixth-grade students (approximately 6,000 per year) in an immersive, residential, weeklong environmental and civic education experience. Outdoor Lab manages two historic campuses nestled in the Front Range Mountains and, throughout its impressive history, almost 400,000 students have attended the program.
