Our Story, Our Mission
Who Are We?
Outdoor recreation and education have been an integral part of Colorado College's identity since its founding in 1874. With the distinguishing combination of the Block Plan paired with the physical location of CC, students are given the opportunity to take their educational experience and their love for the outdoors to new levels!
At CCOE we recognize a constant need to redefine and diversify outdoor culture. As our student demographics change, the traditional definitions and identities of CC's outdoor history and culture must evolve! Our growth allows for new and significant outdoor experiences for everyone. Check out the Inclusion page to learn more about our DEI endeavors!
