Pack your bags and grab your sense of adventure—because we’re heading south for a high-energy tour of all the must-do experiences in the Durango region! This three-night expedition gives campers a taste of Southwest Colorado’s wild side, with time on the river, trails, treetops, and lakeshore. Our home base for the week is the beautiful Durango Nature Center, where campers will set up tents, cook meals together, and settle into camp life under the stars. From there, we’ll tackle a full lineup of Durango classics: soaring across forested canyons on a zipline course, paddling inflatable kayaks (duckies) through rapids on the Animas River, and cooling off with afternoon swimming at Lake Nighthorse. We’ll also lace up our boots for a half-day hike into the breathtaking Weminuche Wilderness, where wide-open skies, rugged peaks, and wildflower meadows reward every step. Evenings bring campfires, games, stargazing, and the simple joy of life outdoors with friends. After three action-packed nights, we’ll break down camp, share one last Durango sunrise, and make our way back to Telluride with tired legs, dirty faces, and big smiles.
