The Free Colorado-Based Educational Program
Brief introduction
Participants in Girls on Rock get to explore forests, hike mountains and sleep under the stars. But that is only part of the experiences young women seek in the free Colorado-based educational program. The program also provides them with the chance to carry out field research with actual scientists.

Application conditions
The young women have several reasons for wanting to enter the program. They want to meet new people, be involved in science during the summer break and face fears. Girls on Rock does not consider academic performance when choosing participants. Instead, interested girls are asked to explain in writing why they want to participate in the program.
