When students learn about the outdoors, they discover more about themselves, deepen connections with their peers, and learn about conflict resolution in new ways. Title 1 schools in Colorado, with 75% or more of the student body living in communities from historically under-resourced areas, are less likely to have the resources to engage in outdoor education programs, as bus transportation costs $100 per student.
The 100 Elk Outdoor Center, a public program of the A/U Ranches in beautiful Buena Vista, Colorado, provides outdoor education and character development programs for schools and groups in the fall and spring. In 2024, 100 Elk served more than 1,800 participants, including 31 schools, but transportation expenses continue to present challenges for attendees. Our staff is committed to helping offset these costs to provide programs rich with nature and adventure.
We want to serve as many Title 1 students as possible, and we need your help!

The mission of the 100 Elk Outdoor Center (100 Elk) is to "Reveal the Possibilities Within." Our activities focus on team building, personal growth, and encouraging effective communication while fostering an individual connection with the outdoors.
100 Elk was established in 2001 as a secular outdoor education and character-building program of Adventure Unlimited. Our purpose is to foster an environment where participants feel loved and valued, while making authentic choices for themselves utilizing the "Challenge with Choice" principle.
