Welcome to the Trail Creek Institute, the adult learning and enrichment program of Community School. Our courses are held in the evenings on the Trail Creek Campus, at select locations around the Wood River Valley, and in the backcountry as well. We offer three six-week sessions -- fall, winter and spring -- and also present seminars, films and discussion groups.

Mission Our mission is to engage a broad range of community members in an intellectually stimulating and collaborative learning culture.  

We endeavor to foster and stimulate the desire for life long learning and effective responsibility to community and environment.

Community Building We have created a program that will generate part-time jobs, give people and businesses exposure in our greater community and open up our campus and resources to a larger range of people and organizations.  By increasing The Community School's commitment to the future of the Valley, we hope to bring the community together and share the vast expertise of all those who live in the Wood River Valley.

Six week programs, outdoor trips and weekend workshops will be available during the following times:
