Pagosa Peak Open School

The Ranch Kids saddled up for a great day! They learned about horse safety from a local 4-H presentation, and everyone had the chance to ride a horse. What an unforgettable experience!

🎨 Check out some of the beautiful artwork coming out of our Watercoloring Intensive!

Students have been exploring a variety of watercolor techniques while experimenting with color, texture, blending, and brushwork.

More fun from our trip to Last Chance Mine! ⛏️💎

After the mine tour, the kiddos got to try their hand at rock hounding in the mine tailings. Their hard work paid off as they uncovered beautiful treasures, including purple amethyst, agate, and galena to take home!

⛳ This year we offered a Golf Intensive, where students learned the fundamentals of putting, chipping, and driving while building confidence on the course. After spending the week practicing their skills, they traveled to Farmington to put everything they had learned into action, playing nine holes on a par-3 course. It was a great opportunity to challenge themselves, celebrate their progress, and enjoy a day on the greens! 🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♀️

This year, we offered an intensive called Tech Time, where students are exploring the exciting world of design and innovation! 💻✨

Using Tinkercad, they are creating their own 3D models and bringing them to life with 3D printing. They’ve also been designing with Cricut, turning their digital creations into real-world projects.

It’s been incredible to watch their creativity, problem-solving, and confidence grow as they transform ideas into tangible products.

Check out some of their amazing creations! 🚀

The Fantastic Fishers struck gold today! 🎣🐟

Was it because their teacher wore her lucky charms shirt? Because the hatchery stocked 3,000 fish last week? Or because they switched up their tactics and tried something new?

We may never know! What we do know is that the fish were biting, the smiles were big, and the crew had a great day on the water. 🎣✨

What a day at 84 Ranch! Brian was the perfect host as we learned about regenerative ranching, herded goats, and got plenty of cuddles from the ranch’s newest baby animals. There’s nothing quite like learning by doing—and this crew had a blast! 🐐🌱🐑💕
