In 1976, Jeffco made a bold investment in the future of Outdoor Lab by opening a second Outdoor Education Laboratory School just outside Bailey, Colorado. Windy Peak welcomed thousands of sixth-grade students to the campus, marking an unforgettable milestone in our community's history. Now, in 2026, Windy Peak turns 50 and it's time to celebrate.
Join the Outdoor Lab Foundation for After Dark 2026, our annual night of impact, as we toast to the experiences shared and the lives changed at both Outdoor Lab campuses. Your support ensures that future generations of students continue to learn, explore, and thrive in our remarkable outdoor classrooms.
So dust off your hiking gear and pack your sense of nostalgia—After Dark 2026 is coming your way on Saturday, May 2, 2026, from 4:30-9:30 PM at the Denver Marriott West Hotel in Golden.
We're embracing the essence of Outdoor Lab and bringing the outdoors inside. Think cozy flannels, rugged boots, your favorite hat as "camp casual" is the dress code of the evening. Bonus points if you wear your original name badge from when you were a camper! Don't have one? One of our many activity stations will allow you to make your very own.
What to Expect:
- A delicious meal to fuel the fun
- Exciting silent and live auctions
- Activities and games which brings the Outdoor Lab experience to you
- An unforgettable celebration of Outdoor Lab's mission
Join us in celebration of Outdoor Lab, Windy Peak, and the community of supporters who have left such a unique and lasting legacy for our children.
