Inclusion in the Outdoors

Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Colorado College Outdoor Education is committed to diversity and inclusion through a collective journey of physical and emotional challenge while cultivating a sense of place in the areas we explore. Finding comfort in the vulner能力 of the outdoor experience means discovering individual differences, 改变, and growth as we work together to create a strong community. Inclusion is about making participants and leaders feel recognized and valued regardless of their background, 能力, or identity. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to create their own experiences in the natural world. Outdoor Education strives to empower the outdoor community at CC to confidently participate in the ongoing discussion and education of diversity, 股本, and inclusion.

AllAdventures As of Fall 2018 all Outdoor Education On-Campus Facilities have an "All Adventures 欢迎" sticker visible. This furthers our commitment to fostering a safe and welcoming outdoor culture for everyone at Colorado College.

Our DEI Work

Outdoor Education has had the amazing opportunity to welcome and host a variety of speakers and events dedicated to helping diversifying the outdoors. Along with some of the speakers listed below we had an Executive in Residence working on DEI efforts for our program. We also hosted our first LGBTQIA+ visibility week called PRIDE OUTSIDE!
