The Outdoor Recreation Committee offers student-led trips that include hiking, camping, backpacking, backcountry skiing, kayaking and whitewater rafting, and cycling during some block breaks and spring break. The ORC also runs the FOOT (First-year Outdoor Orientation Trip) program during the first block break of every year in which student leaders take first-year students on backpacking trips to a variety of locations in Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah.

Freerider's Union of Colorado College (F.U.C.C) is dedicated to skiing, snowboarding, and merrymaking in the name of snow, gravity, and mountains. F.U.C.C is a student run organization that encourages a strong Colorado College ski and snowboard community both on campus and on the mountains. To reach out to all members of the community, F.U.C.C hosts ski and snowboard events on campus and in the mountains and encourages the community to share with them the sport that they both love.

OELIC is a community centered around outdoor leadership and stewardship.  Located in Matthias Hall, there are 33 residents comprised of first and second year students.  Each month as a community, OELIC gathers to hear speakers and participate in an outdoor activity.

Colorado College has been an integral part of Colorado's climbing history and continues to support a vibrant climbing community. Students from CC travel all across the country to seek their climbing fix. Annual trips include our 2nd and 7th Block Break Pilgrimage to Indian Creek, Spring Break Trips to the Red River Gorge and Red Rocks, and bouldering trips to Joe's Valley, UT.

The Co-op: Bike & Ski supports Colorado College's bike culture and sustainability initiatives by providing bicycle and ski maintenance education, refurbished bike sales, and monthly events to engage the campus community.  We are located at the Outdoor Education Center.
