After Dark

SAVE THE DATE

Saturday, May 1st, 2027
Denver Marriott West Hotel in Golden
4:30-9:30 PM

At Outdoor Lab, a week in the mountains sparks discoveries, inspires personal growth, and builds values that last a lifetime. Students return home with newfound confidence, meaningful friendships, and a deeper respect for themselves, their communities, and the natural world.

Now it's our turn to bring camp down the mountain!

After Dark, our annual Night of Impact, celebrates the discoveries, growth, and values that make Outdoor Lab such a transformative experience. We're bringing the spirit of camp to you for an evening of fun, community, and giving back!

Leave the formalwear at home! The After Dark dress code is "camp casual," think cozy flannels, rugged boots, and your favorite hat. 

What to Expect:
- A delicious meal to fuel the fun
- Exciting auctions to show your support
- Activities and games which bring the Outdoor Lab experience to you
- An unforgettable celebration of Outdoor Lab's mission

Gather 'round and help make these transformative experiences possible for future generations of students to come!
