9th Grade Welcome Weekend
2023-09-09 08:30 - 18:30
The purpose of the 9th Grade Welcome Weekend is to create connections and bonds between incoming 9th graders. Since the Wilderness Orientation groups are small by design, students may not have had the opportunity to get to know all of their new classmates before the start of classes. The various 9th Grade Welcome activities will follow All School Service Day.
Day students are only required to attend activities on Saturday, September 9, but are welcomed and encouraged to join activities on Friday evening and Sunday. Click below for the full schedule.

What is Oystermeister? Seven times each school year, students and faculty come together for a school-wide, fun-for-all athletic event. Students pay an entry fee of $1 each to participate and all funds raised support student clubs. Regardless of ability, we invite the entire CRMS community to join in – and don’t forget your school spirit, costume, and friendly competition!
The 7 events are:

Open water pond swim and party
2.5-mile trail run on Tick Ridge
Campus course cycling time trial
Rock climbing – bouldering in the CRMS Gym
5K Nordic ski (skate or classic) at Spring Gulch
Alpine downhill at the Snowmass Ski Area NASTAR course
Kayaking race starting at River Valley Ranch and ending at CRMS
