Curriculum spotlight: ENOR's 6th graders, or Falcons Aerie, spend their Tuesday at Staunton State Park and travel back in time to Colorado's homesteading days.
The Stauntons moved to Denver in 1903, purchased their ranch in 1918, expanded throughout the early 20th century, and was donated to Colorado State Parks in 1986. On the way to explore the structures that make up this historic ranch, campers discuss animal adaptation and folklore. Falcons learn the history of the Staunton family homestead before designing their own homestead and cabins with park rangers.
Along Davis Pond trail hike, Falcons discover:
📍The old dump site
📍Terraced gardens
📍Bath house
📍Historic cabins
The social theme for this day is perseverance and determination, with campers learning how to achieve goals by overcoming difficulties.
