Weekend in the Mountains

Weekend in the Mountains is a unique program for international students and scholars that takes participants to the CSU Mountain Campus for a weekend of bonding and intercultural activities.

Each fall, students and scholars from all over the world attend the retreat. Activities change each year, but they always focus on a few primary goals: Culture, Community, and Colorado. We hope you’ll  develop tools to help your cultural transition to the US, while building relationships with new friends from all over the world in the beautiful mountains of Colorado.

Favorite activities include:

  • Walking through the beautiful fall landscape of the Rocky Mountains
  • Enjoying a campfire and trying a quintessential American camping treat–s’mores
  • Participating in the low ropes course
  • Spotting wild animals (moose, squirrels, and chipmunks among other possible animals)
  • Viewing the clear sky and seeing the Milky Way and constellations
  • Bonding with new friends from all over the world

Details on next fall’s ‘weekend in the mountains’ coming soon!
