Senior Projects Begin
2022-05-09
Senior Project is an integral part of a student’s final year at CRMS, requiring students to exercise self-reliance and responsibility. This project forms an essential aspect of the transition from the relatively comfortable and familiar school community to the world beyond. Successful completion of the project is a CRMS graduation requirement.
Each senior organizes and carries out an independent, three-week project away from school and home, in which they under a master, employer or with an organization. Upon their return to campus, seniors present their real-world learning experiences to peers, family, and a jury made up of students and faculty. Both the quality of the project completed and an oral presentation (a pivotal opportunity to exhibit public-speaking skills) are evaluated, as is a reflective essay designed to help students chronicle their reflections and learning experiences.
Planning the project can be an exciting and thought-provoking process. Students are encouraged to begin exploring project options at the end of their junior year, making the program one of the hallmark experiences of their transition to the new challenges and responsibilities of preparing to graduate. Students often identify unexplored passions or compelling service opportunities, or they may design a program that intensifies current interests.
Sample senior projects include:

Volunteering in a Balinese orphanage
Learning organic farming techniques
Internship at a glassblowing studio
Working at a dolphin research center
Internship with Bridging Bionics (exoskeleton development)
Beekeeping and urban gardening
Tagging and tracking sea turtles
Internship with a public radio station
Teaching English in Spain
Internship for a senate campaign

New Family and Student Orientation
2022-08-16
New Family Orientation helps families make the transition into the school by informing them about the academic and active programs and other aspects of student life. It is an opportunity for parents to meet faculty, their student’s Outdoor Orientation leaders and faculty advisor, administrators, support staff, and to visit the Business Office. On the evening of orientation, parents and students separate so that students can begin bonding within their new community and parents can receive information relating to the CRMS experience. Parents will have a chance to socialize with one another and with current parents.

Wilderness Orientation
2022-08-18 - 2022-08-27
Wilderness Orientation is a fun adventure filled with exploration. Our program is designed to introduce all new students to the school’s values of respect, responsibility, and excellence through a ten-day backpacking trip. Wilderness Orientation also serves the vital role of creating a shared collective experience through service, teamwork, challenge, and adventure all before the start of the academic school year. The skills taught on Wilderness Orientation not only benefit students on subsequent outdoor adventures but also provide valuable lessons and strategies that will help them better approach everyday life at CRMS and beyond.
The individual Wilderness Orientation groups travel through the nearby high country in the Hunter-Fryingpan, Snowmass, and Maroon Bells regions. The first three days of the trip are devoted to a service project with the U.S. Forest Service to maintain and improve backcountry trails. The remainder of the adventure entails a week-long backpacking expedition traveling on- and off-trail through the spectacular mountainous terrain. All the expedition leaders are CRMS faculty members who are qualified, experienced, and certified outdoor educators.
