Activities

Outdoor Ed
Through outdoor education, Horizons students and teachers have the opportunity to develop their appreciation for and understanding of ecology, life sciences, and geology, as well as recognize and develop their individual and group roles by taking risks and participating in team building. One week during the year is devoted to outdoor education.

Winter Sports
It is our intent to instill in our students a life-long practice of physical activity. To that end, Horizons sponsors a winter sports program at Eldora Ski Mountain. Students may choose instruction in alpine, cross-country skiing, skate skiing, or snowboarding.

After School Enrichment
At Horizons, we offer After-School Activities for our students, with choices ranging from art and athletics to computer lab, in a format that encourages choice and allows for small group activities. This service is provided M-Th from 3:10-5:30, and on Fridays from 12:05-5:30 at a nominal fee. As with all activities at Horizons, scholarships are available.

Adventure Week Programs
Adventure Week Programs are offered during weeks when the school is closed for conferences and teacher planning. These weeks include special activities that may include going to East Boulder Recreation Center and the CU Ice Rink.

Middle School Athletics
Basketball and volleyball teams are offered to middle school students after school dismisses. Games are played against other small area schools. An emphasis is placed on allowing all students to play.

Middle school students may also choose to participate in the Bolder Boulder Middle School Challenge. Training occurs during spring Arts & Sciences sessions.
