Where Relationships Grow

Bringing parents and youth together through outdoor experiences that strengthen relationships.

Explore our Programs

Colorado Youth Outdoors brings parents and youth together to strengthen their relationships through shared outdoor experiences.

Our programs are built around PACD—Participate, Appreciate, Communicate, and Dedicate—a practical framework that helps families build trust, improve communication, and create stronger connections.

Through CORE and our community programs, we create intentional opportunities for families to spend meaningful time together and strengthen relationships that carry beyond the outdoors.

We invite families, partners, and supporters to join us in building stronger relationships, stronger families, and a stronger community.
