Western Immersion Program Unique to Fountain Valley School of Colorado
The sophomore class recently returned from the weeklong Western Immersion Program (WIP) at the Fountain Valley School of Colorado's 40-acre Mountain Campus. WIP was established in 1996 to bring an interdisciplinary, experiential program to the 10th grade curriculum. The program centers upon the notion that the landscape of the Mountain Campus (outside of Buena Vista, Colo.) offers a wonderful place to explore the connections between land and people.
