Established in 1999, the Colorado Mountain Club’s Youth Education Program (YEP) ignites a connection to the outdoors for Colorado youth, by providing opportunities for active learning through experiential and adventure education. YEP inspires the next generation of leaders, recreationalists, and environmental stewards by fostering enthusiastic, self-aware learners who engage in their community and strive toward both collaborative and independent goals.
Although the cost of a CMC membership is typically offset by the price break on programs for our members, guests are always welcome.
Want to create memories for yourself and the kids? Colorado Mountain Club members receive discounts on YEP Camps and Family Events, CMC classes, deep discounts on gear, Adventure Travel trips, access to special events and more. We also teach all the skills, training, and wilderness education classes you need to enjoy the Colorado with your loved ones.

YEP relies on generous contributions from grants and donors to connect students to nature and our mountains. You can "bring the mountains" to a child in our community with a tax-deductible gift to YEP today.
