Boulder Young Explorers is a summer program in Lafayette, CO that offers full-time care for school-age children (6-10 years old) during the summer months. Led by Director Amy Harman, the program aims to keep children's minds sharp while engaging them in outdoor exploration and fun activities. With a focus on STEAM and literacy, the program includes outings to various locations such as Boulder County, the Denver Zoo, and the Museum of Nature Science, as well as weekly trips to local libraries. The program also provides a home base facility with 4 acres of land for gardening, play, and a variety of activities.
The Young Explorers program emphasizes both mental and physical activity, with a goal of getting children outside and exploring their community. Alongside hiking, biking, and nature walks, the program offers a new bus equipped with safety features for transportation. On days when outdoor activities are not possible, the program provides indoor facilities for crafts, cooking projects, reading, and learning. With limited enrollment, Boulder Young Explorers offers a full-day program from 9 am to 4 pm, with extended wraparound hours available.
