About Keystone Science School
Since 1976, Keystone Science School has welcomed students, campers, and educators to our
historic campus in the heart of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, which serves as the home base for
our diverse suite of outdoor education programs. Instructors in our 4 program areas-- Education,
Camp, Adventure, and School-Based--inspire curiosity and critical thinking, through the lens of
science, to change lives and strengthen communities. Our facilities include modern log-style dormitories, a central dining hall, an outdoor amphitheater, an observatory, and a geothermal field.

Our tagline--Science. Adventure. Fun!--summarizes what we seek in our employees: passionate about our work, willing to seek adventure and take risks to improve KSS, and able to laugh along the way.
