Dive deep into exploration, research, and adventure in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
Designed for students entering grades 10–12, this immersive 26-day experience invites participants to live and learn in one of America’s most iconic landscapes. Based at Teton Science Schools’ historic Kelly campus, students will spend their first weeks exploring the diverse ecosystems of Grand Teton National Park, followed by a four-night frontcountry camping trip to Yellowstone to observe wildlife and geothermal features up close.
As the program progresses, students will develop their own research questions and conduct a week-long, hands-on field research project in Grand Teton National Park. The experience culminates in a five-day backpacking expedition through the park’s stunning backcountry—a challenging and rewarding capstone that builds independence, leadership, and a deep connection to place.
Over 26 days and 25 nights, students gain skills, confidence, and unforgettable experiences while following in the legacy of experiential learning that defines Teton Science Schools.
