Adventure Previews
Spend a day on campus getting to know Denver Seminary and the next day previewing Colorado adventure...
One of the best ways to learn about Denver Seminary and Colorado at the same time is to join us for one of our adventure previews. You'll spend one day on campus participating in the classroom, touring the campus, meeting with students and faculty, and learning about Denver Seminary's academic programs and community life. You'll spend the second day experiencing the breathtaking beauty of Colorado. There are seven Adventure Previews from which to choose. Whether you are passionate about any of these sports or have never put on a pair of snowshoes or held a fly rod, these adventures are designed to accommodate just about any skill level. All trips are lead by certified outdoor staff who are accomplished professionals.
Space for each adventure preview is limited, so it's important to register early. Transportation, gear and lunch are provided for each outdoor trip. The cost for all adventure previews is a drastically discounted rate that helps alleviate the cost of equipment, transportation and guides. Fees are non-refundable.
