Where Relationships Grow

Building Relationships through Traditional Outdoor Recreation

Sign Up Now

Colorado Youth Outdoors in Colorado Springs is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to strengthening relationships through traditional outdoor recreation.

Our programs bring adults and teens together through shared experiences such as fishing, shooting sports, archery, survival skills, and fly tying. These activities are intentionally structured to create opportunities for communication, trust, and lasting connection.

We serve families with youth ages 10–18 through our CORE program, designed to build stronger relationships through consistent, skill-based engagement in the outdoors.

In addition to CORE programming, Colorado Youth Outdoors supports broader community engagement through field trips, team-building programs, and seasonal opportunities.

We invite families, partners, and supporters to be part of this work—building stronger relationships, stronger families, and a stronger community.

CYO is proud to introduce folks to outdoor recreation while helping build their relationships.
