Do you enjoy teaching children? How about being outside! CALF has wonderful opportunities to help teach children about the importance of agriculture! We provide training and supplies for each of our learning stations.
Help us as your schedule permits! We offer programs from April through October, Mondays through Fridays! We send out a list of the dates of our scheduled programs and you can choose which ones you can help out with! A typical day starts at 9:30 am and ends around 2 in the afternoon. Most programs host elementary school age children; however we do conduct some customized programs for older youth.

Mission Statement
CALF is dedicated to connecting people to agriculture through authentic edcuational programs, community projects and special events.
Description
CALF operates the historic, 133-acre Lowell Ranch as a working educational ranch to help people better understand the importance of agriculture in everyday life. CALF's Lowell Ranch is equipped with indoor and outdoor classroom facilities and a community meeting room with kitchen. We provide: 4-H and FFA members space to raise livestock projects, and land for food production, community gardens, and pumpkin patch which provides pumpkins for the community at our annual Harvest Day.
Programs:Our accessible facilities and strong community and industry connections position CALF to resourcefully connect people to agriculture. We work cooperatively with all who are interested in conducting high quality educational programs, organize unique opportunities for the community to experience agricultural life, and host innovative and engaging special events.
CALF works with the Douglas County School District to provide our Connecting Kids to Agricultureschool age programs. Our programs currently include: FBarnyard Buddies (Kindergarten) Farm Days (Grades K-1), Food from the Farm (2 nd Grade), Colorado Ranching and Heritage Day (4 th Grade) and CAMP CALF! A summertime agricultural adventure (Ages 9-12 year olds). Our long-term plan is to offer a full range of youth and adult educational programs that are portable to other locations in addition to the Lowell Ranch and that includes teacher training workshops, classroom resource packet development, authentic field experiences, and demonstration projects.
Each year, CALF hosts several events and festivals focused on agricultural enjoyment and awareness. Working with a broad spectrum of industry sectors, we provide activities that bring life and meaning to agriculture during our May Days and Harvest Day events at the Lowell Ranch.
