Education

UPHS can help teachers (including homeschool teachers) instruct students about our local history in Ute Pass:

We host an annual field trip for second graders at our History Park location in Woodland Park.
We can also bring our traveling field trip to you (for homeschoolers, we can offer this at the Pikes Peak Community Center in Divide).

Contact our Education Coordinator, Pat Hyslop, to schedule or learn more: pathyslop@yahoo.com, 315-778-5078
