Colorado College|Parents Weekend
Parents Weekend
Welcome Parents!

We are so happy to host you during this exciting, fun-filled weekend!

You'll have time to spend with your students (making department store and grocery store runs) as well as attend sporting events, academic seminars and performances, especially those scheduled in our new Edith Kinney Gaylord Cornerstone Arts Center.

If you are an early riser, start your Saturday with a 5:45 a.m. bike ride (mostly downhill with bike and all gear provided) or a 5K race, starting at 7:45 a.m. Stretch your mind as well as your body by joining us at the Freedom and Authority seminar at 8 a.m. This year's discussion will be based on Michael Frayn's Tony Award Winning Play "Copenhagen". You may purchase this book at "Copenhagen" .

Cheer on the Tigers at your choice of athletic contests ~ the men's and women's soccer teams compete during Homecoming weekend as does our Tiger ice hockey team.

We'll have bonfires, film screenings, concerts, and an all-campus picnic (complete with a bounce house for our tiny Tigers). Bring your dancing shoes ~ there are three dance venues on campus Saturday evening, offering a fun time for all.

Sign up for the Parent/Student Dinner on Friday evening with President Richard F. Celeste and the Farewell Brunch on Sunday morning.

Weather, and clothing...what can I say? Pack for sunshine, rain or snow. It's Colorado! And if you forget a sweatshirt, not to worry. Our campus bookstore is well stocked.

Make your reservations early.! Check Web site for lodging options in our area.

Looking forward to welcoming you.
