At Ute Springs we believe that all people, especially youth, gain additional tools to thrive within a community from the great outdoors. Our primary goal is to promote children's social-emotional wellness by helping them learn to build trusting connections and relationships, to improve their self-esteem, and invest in their personal and social leadership skills. We do this through experiential education in our shared natural environment. Ute Springs' curriculum for youth is based on the State of Colorado and Eagle County School District emotional and social wellness standards, Olweus Bullying Prevention Programs, Sanford Harmony University teaching strategies, as well as the safety requirements as set by our two state childcare licenses. The curriculum is infused with our unique core values of C.A.R.I.N.G.: Compassion, Adventure, Relationships, Integrity, Nature, Giving Back
