Welcome to the SOLO Learning Hub!

“Study Outdoors, Learn Outdoors” (SOLO) was designed as a fun family excursion or as a field trip for educators and homeschools. Each route has a lesson plan and a route map. Created by two local educators, SOLO Field Trip routes align with Colorado Academic Standards and connect youth to the landscape of the Poudre River.  

SOLO field trips are designed with simplicity in mind. Just choose your route, download the materials that you need, sign up online, then head out on your learning adventure.   

See the Process Step by Step

Step 1: Browse through the routes. Buttons under each route tab provide the lesson plan, route map, and additional materials for your SOLO Field Trip.

Step 2: Sign up your students, children, or participants if you haven’t done so already! This way you are eligible to receive a sticker upon completion.

Step 3: Download the route map and read the lesson plan for the suggested activity procedure and materials.

Step 4: Head out on your desired route, be safe, and have fun!

Step 5:  Learners can log and submit answers online when they get home or turn in their handwritten answers to their teacher, parent, or guardian.
