Keystone Science School

Since 1976, Keystone Science School has taught scientific principles and leadership skills to young people, teachers, and community members through engaging hands-on field experiences. KSS was founded on the belief that leaders should approach decision-making with a healthy respect for scientific inquiry, collaboration, and civic engagement. KSS programs prepare future leaders to address the increasingly complex issues our society faces.


Located at 9,200 feet on the site of Old Keystone Village in Keystone, Colorado, the historic 23-acre campus serves as the ultimate outdoor laboratory and is the home base for their diverse suite of programs. Facilities include modern log-style dormitories, a central dining hall, an outdoor amphitheater, and a state-of-the-art observatory.

Keystone Science School offers a range of Summer Camp Programs right here in Keystone, Colorado. They all provide just the right balance of hands-on science activities, Colorado adventure, and traditional camp-style fun, all based upon scientific themes including comparative ecology, geology, and wildlife interpretations.

KSS also offers a wide variety of Community Programs. Whether you’re a guest or resident of Summit County or planning an upcoming group event, custom community programing provides the opportunity to engage more fully with our spectacular mountain environment.
