If you are interested in hosting a boarding student for an overnight at your home, it is required that you attend one of our Hosting Boarding Students meetings. Once a month throughout the first semester, we welcome you to partner with us to learn about the school’s expectations around hosting boarding students and to create a caring network for the students and families we serve. Participation in this meeting is mandatory before you can host a boarding student. If you miss this one, please join us for the next one!

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
