Horizons Colorado offers a tuition-free, long-term commitment to students from Pre-K through high school, providing consistent academic and enrichment support to close opportunity gaps and inspire a lifelong joy of learning.
Horizons Colorado Summer Enrichment Program offers a six-week, tuition-free summer experience focused on academic skill-building, social-emotional support, and health and wellness activities for students from Pre-K through high school. The program aims to address summer learning loss and close opportunity gaps by providing a rich blend of academics, arts, STEM, swimming, field trips, and healthy living. Students engage in rigorous, project-based academics in literacy and math, with additional support from reading specialists and math interventionists as needed. Beyond academics, the program includes daily swim instruction, art and music classes, extensive health & wellness programming (sports, yoga, nutrition, self-care), and social-emotional support with access to counselors and classes on kindness, empathy, conflict resolution, and anger management. High school students also have opportunities for career exploration, internships, and a one-on-one mentorship program. The program emphasizes a culturally rich curriculum and community-building events, with weekly field trips focusing on nature and outdoor environmental education, and overnight trips for older students. Horizons students typically gain an average of two months in reading and math skills each summer, fostering confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning.
A typical day blends rigorous, project-based academics in literacy and math with enrichment activities such as swimming lessons, art, music, and health & wellness programming.
The program is best for students from under-resourced communities who are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and are looking for a comprehensive summer enrichment program that fosters academic growth, social-emotional development, and a love for learning.
