We offer hand-on engaging adventure classess for homeschool students in the Colorado Springs area.

At Radius Adventure, we utilize genuine challenge as our fertile ground for personal development. From early elementary through high school, students learn technical outdoor skills alongside profound lessons in responsibility, judgment, resilience, leadership, and care for others. We believe adventure is useful for more than recreation — it becomes the good soil in which character is formed.
Through climbing, hiking, camping, and backcountry travel, students are given meaningful responsibility in real environments. Our programs are intentionally structured so that skills build year after year. As technical competence grows, so does confidence, maturity, and leadership.

About Our Homeschool Program
Radius Adventure is an outdoor-centered program focused on climbing, canyoneering, wilderness skills, nature studies, and natural history. Students spend the majority of their program time outside, developing practical skills through direct experience.Our goal extends beyond simply equipping capable students. We want students to become attentive, responsible people who genuinely care for the places and communities around them. We measure success not primarily by how much information a student retains, but by the depth of curiosity, connection, and care they develop for the world around them.
Radius Adventure serves students in kindergarten through 12th grade. Classes and activities are designed with students’ ages and developmental stages in mind.
Each class meets once a week. Day trips are also scheduled throughout the semester, giving students opportunities to practice their skills in wilderness areas around Colorado Springs.
Our home base is:
2713 W. Cucharras St.Colorado Springs, CO 80904
Transportation is provided for all program trips. Students depart from and return to our home-base location.
We understand that illnesses and occasional scheduling conflicts happen, so we do not expect perfect attendance. However, families should plan to participate consistently in scheduled classes and trips. Regular attendance helps students build skills progressively, develop strong relationships with their group, and receive the full benefit of the program.
Consistent participation also helps us plan staffing, equipment, transportation, and trip reservations responsibly. If your child needs to miss a class or trip, please notify us as early as possible. If you already anticipate missing several dates, please contact us so we can discuss the schedule and whether the program will be a good fit for your family.
