Good Cold Fun

Everyone’s heard the phrase “good clean fun,” but really—how much fun can it be if you don’t wipe out just a bit? Good Cold Fun makes good on its name with the promise of a GREAT time in cold climates. During this Winterim, students will participate in some of the best activities that Colorado winters have to offer, and the skills they learn can be used for many winters to come. Activities include snowshoeing, cross-country skiing (don’t worry—there will be a day of lessons for those unfamiliar with this Nordic sport), ice skating, and, to wrap it all up, a day of tubing in Rocky Mountain National Park—this is not your average sled hill! From Eldora to Estes Park, this promises to be a week of winter action.

Students should be prepared for plenty of time outdoors. This means bundling up in cold-weather gear and embracing fun but challenging physical activities. There will be ample instruction, so even beginners will be under excellent guidance. All that is required is a positive attitude and a willingness to seek adventure.

Educational Goals:

• High-altitude winter weather preparedness.

• Learning safe practices for challenging outdoor environments.

• Acquiring and improving winter activity skills.
