Colorado Treks does life-changing work in the youth of the greater-Denver area,via the great outdoors of our state. BIPOC families have historically had barriers in place to accessing our natural wonders in Colorado, and we seek to remove them through our mentorship and cultural programs.
"Being involved in Colorado Treks has definitely helped me start my journey to become a more outdoorsy person! My first time going camping and horseback riding was the summer of 2016 with colorado treks! While on the trip I even went fishing for my first time! This experience is so special to me because if it wasn't for this awesome program, I wouldn't have ever got to experience real camping like that! Colorado treks also helped me discover that I have a green thumb! Last summer Dominic had asked me if I'm interested in doing a garden and immediately jumped on it! This year is round two and I'm super excited to see what we can grow!" - High School Participant
"This was great for me because it was good time to get away from the city and being able to just be in nature and actually having conversations with people because we had no (cell) service." - High School Participant
"I would (go again) because of its wonderful atmosphere out there the great scenery play Sun wind to get back to life if you're going through any type of struggling depression dealing with the loss and PTSD" -Young Adult Participant
To instill life-changing confidence to the underserved youth of Colorado through cultural experiences and outdoor educational treks.
Colorado Treks has been serving the greater Denver-Metro area since 2014. We provide mentorship and cultural programs in schools, working directly with students in their academic setting. We provide a caring support to our participants, and build relationships through access to Colorado's outdoors. Through various outdoor experiences, including but not limited to back-country horseback riding, rock climbing, fishing, hiking, and camping, we give our participants an opportunity to grow their confidence in themselves, and create a connection to the land, which develops them into lifelong stewards of both our lands, and their own confidence and successes.
