TREE Semester

The Teaching and Research in Environmental Education (TREE) Semester program is a residential off-ca

The TREE Semester is a 16-week, residential fall semester program that is similar to traditional study abroad experiences. Undergraduate students live and learn in an intentional community at the spectacular Catamount Center in the montane forest outside Woodland Park, Colorado. The TREE Semester is for students of all academic interests, but is specifically designed for those interested in explor

ing both environmental and educational fields. These scholars will cultivate their own and their K-12 students’ conceptions of environmental stewardship and respect for the natural world. Where traditional programs provide only limited teaching opportunities, the TREE Semester allows undergraduates to learn about their students’ development through ~100 hours of experiential teaching and program observations. Undergraduate students will learn by simultaneously teaching and researching how K-12 students develop. Our educational research informs our teaching and our teaching informs our research in a cycle of virtuous learning.
