CCS is a multiage nature-infused, 501(c)(3) nonprofit, which means we are a small, personalized learning community that focuses on experiential learning and close connections between “Guides” (teachers) and “Explorers” (students).

Core Values

Our Mission

Our mission is to create a connected community of explorers who develop a love of self, learning, nature, and service.


Community
One inclusive family working together as a community.

Explorers
Explorers (students) are kind, curious, risk-takers, that are open-minded, empathetic, and observational.

Learning
We implement individualized education to meet the needs of our diverse community of explorers and prioritize social, emotional, and physical wellbeing.

Nature
We engage in nature-based, experiential learning and an abundance of time outdoors.

Service

We inspire each other to show empathy and take-action by caring for our planet and one another.
