Balarat Outdoor Education

Balarat Outdoor Education Center provides instruction to Denver Public Schools students in environmental studies, Western history, and outdoor leadership skills.
Balarat Outdoor Education Center has been part of Denver Public Schools since the late 1960s. In 1975, Balarat launched the 5th Grade Residential Program. Since then, Balarat has continued to offer residential programs to 5th graders, and has expanded to offer outdoor education experiences to 3rd graders, middle school students, and high school students.
Currently Balarat Outdoor Education Center serves over 10,000 students each year! At Balarat, we continually strive to offer relevant educational opportunities that help students connect their experiences with classroom learning.
