We Are Crew, Not Passengers!

Fieldwork

Fieldwork at Polaris is purpose-driven and directly supports classroom learning, unlike typical field trips. For example, older elementary students visit Colorado State University’s Mountain Campus for Eco Week, while younger students take a walking tour of Old Town for geography studies. Fieldwork also includes on-campus activities like taking temperatures during lunch, integrating real-world experiences into everyday learning.

Below is a list of single-day Fieldwork activities across K-12. Note, this does not include secondary-level Intensive Weeks.
