MORNING ACTIVITIES
Families Welcome 
9:30 AM - 12:30 PM

Group Hike
Location: NCAR Mesa Trail Loop
(Limited capacity)

Come and join us for a beautiful and relaxed morning hike in Boulder! We will be doing part of the Table Mesa and Bear Canyon Loop starting from the NCAR parking lot. The hike will be approximately 3.4 miles, with the opportunity for short-cuts or additions, depending on how everyone is feeling. In other words, we can take this slow and use it as a great opportunity to get some fresh air and reconnect with the MENV community!

Art Project and Guided Tour
Location: Growing Gardens
(Limited capacity)

Join us for a fun and exciting day at Growing Gardens. We will be engaging in a 45-minute Farm Tour (9:45 AM - 10:30 AM) and then we will have the opportunity to have some fun with a hand-rolled beeswax candle-making activity (10:45 AM - 12:15 PM). We will have access to Growing Gardens' outdoor courtyard tent area where we can chat and reconnect with each other. We can’t wait to see you there! 

AFTERNOON ACTIVITIES
Families Welcome
1:30 PM - 3:30 PM

Bowling
Location: University Memorial Center
(Limited capacity)

Join us for some friendly competition at the bowling alley (1:30 PM - 3:30 PM)! We’ve got several lanes reserved along with two billiards tables. Families are welcome, and complimentary snacks will be available. Connect with the MENV community as you knock down some pins and rack up the points at The Connection in the University Memorial Center (UMC).

Campus Sustainability Tour
Location: TBD
(Limited capacity)

Join MENV Renewable & Sustainable Energy Spec Lead and CU Boulder Director of Campus Climate Action, Sustainability, and Resilience Josh Radoff for a guided sustainability tour of campus. The tour will highlight CU's efforts in transportation, energy, buildings, and waste. Participants will visit and discuss some of CU Boulder’s most significant campus sustainability projects, including recent building projects, renewables installations, bus electrification, and larger campus infrastructure. It is a unique opportunity to see climate action and sustainability in practice while reconnecting with the MENV community. More details to come.
