Outdoor Education

The 100 Elk Outdoor Center provides outdoor education and character development programs in the fall and spring for schools and groups interested in experiential education.

100 Elk serves groups from all backgrounds including grade school through college students, sports teams, programs serving at-risk and underserved students, after-school programs and those interested in adventure and experiential learning. Our goal is to help expand each participant’s sense of self, community and the environment while encouraging personal growth and authentic choices.

Since 2001, we have provided quality programming to schools and groups throughout Colorado and New Mexico. Participants utilize the 1,345-acre A/U Ranches facility, situated in the iconic Rocky Mountains in Buena Vista, Colorado.

Our Mission

Our mission, “Revealing the Possibilities Within,” is at the core of all we do here. We believe our programming helps participants, individually and collectively, learn new things about themselves and others. Our activities support team building, growth and reflection for participants, as well as promote a greater appreciation of the outdoors.

The 100 Elk Outdoor Center is a public program of the A/U Ranches, a non-profit located in Buena Vista, Colorado — a branch of the Adventure Unlimited organization. The 100 Elk Outdoor Center is a drug-, alcohol- and smoke-free environment.
