Environment

There is a love of nature and appreciation of the Center's majestic mountain setting at Rocky Ridge. Music is heard along the mountainside as students practice in the woods or beside a nearby stream

People: The Center's resident population consists of approximately one hundred people including students, staff and faculty.

Activities: Group activities offered include hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park (supervised, of course!), swimming, horseback riding, craft projects, and visits to the nearby resort town of Estes Park. These activities foster friendships and a remarkable sense of community spirit for which Rocky Ridge has become known.

In keeping with the community spirit established by the environmentalists who homesteaded this historic property, you will also participate in a daily work crew, an essential part of the operation of Rocky Ridge and a great way to make friends.
