Imagine if school was outside. In this feature from Studio M, KVNF's Brody Wilson visits with Keely Vaughn, co-founder and principal of Outer Range — an outdoor learning school in Montrose County. Students there spend 90% of their school day outside, bundled in snow gear, hiking trails, and working on hands-on projects that integrate math, science, and reading. Now, nearly complete with its third year, the school is expanding to include high school grades, and it's not just about learning outside — it's about building strong relationships and growing whole humans. Vaughn explains how the school started, how it’s growing, and what students are learning by mapping geocaches and leading overnight expeditions. It’s a story about public education done differently — grounded in place, purpose, and play.
