Activities
Formal activities take place on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and fulfill
activity credit requirements for our students who are not competitive
athletes. Students may choose from a variety of activities such as
horseback riding, mountain biking, kayaking, team sports, rock
climbing, etc. During the winter, activities are limited to
Recreational skiing/riding, hockey, figure skating or weight training.
Weekend activities are scattered throughout the year and typically
organized by the residential staff and/or the leadership council. This
might include trips to the Health and Recreation Center, shopping, the
ski mountain, movies, out of town ski trips, and even some cultural
excursions to visit museums, sporting events, plays, the zoo, etc.
Every Wednesday night the Dean of Students sponsors an event called
“Hump Day Nights.” Immediately following evening study hall students
gather in the gym for athletic events; the emphasis is on fun as
opposed to competition. Each event ends with some kind of late evening
snack in the dining hall.
Of course students are always encouraged to use our gym (basketball,
weight room etc.), our skateboard mini-ramp, our ski hill with rails,
our trampoline and stunt pit, and to take advantage of the wonderful
natural playground that surrounds our school and the larger community
of Steamboat Springs.
