About

The Columbia Climate School in the Green Mountains, a 2-week campus-based program in Vermont for high school students to mobilize action, drive impact, and effect change in response to our warming planet. Engage with experts from Columbia Climate School and learn about cutting-edge innovations in action. Meet, collaborate, and build partnerships with like-minded students and tap into collective strengths for action. The Columbia Climate School collaborates with Putney Student Travel to offer the Columbia Climate School in the Green Mountains. Putney programs are designed and operated by Putney Student Travel, a family-run organization that has provided transformative, safe, and fun educational travel programs for young people since 1951. These programs are designed for motivated high school students who are curious and passionate about the world around them. Whether in the U.S. or abroad, Putney programs combine experiential education, travel, and pre-college enrichment, taking you beyond the standard summer class model. Students apply to Columbia Climate School in the Green Mountains directly through Putney Student Travel’s Online Application. Admission is selective. The organizing committee will look for exceptional and highly motivated high school students (and driven rising 9th grade students) who are eager to participate in climate action in their communities.
