Best of Colorado Trips
Experience Colorado
One of the best ways to experience all that Colorado has to offer is to get out there and try something new.
The Best of Colorado program offers CCU students a variety of recreational trips in Colorado’s great outdoors. From whitewater rafting to urban cycling; from horseback riding to camping; these excursions are designed to help you explore and appreciate God’s creation while encouraging you to build solid friendships with other students. All trips are planned by current CCU students who have had plenty of guiding experience in the outdoors. Faculty and staff advisors tag along to enjoy these recreational opportunities with students.
Best of Colorado trips at CCU are not just for people who live for extreme outdoor adventure. Whether you’re passionate about skiing, biking, hiking, camping, or you’ve never even put on a pair of hiking boots, these trips offer all students the chance to experience faith through adventure, fellowship, and recreational activity.
