The Extracurricular Activities: Welcome to Durango
[/FONT]You may have wondered
.Why Durango, Colorado?
Durango is one of Colorados most unique tourist destinations. With a population of only 16,000
people and 4 breweries, Durango has one of the highest ratios of breweries-to-residents in the
world! It is also the home of Fort Lewis College, which is known as the Campus In The Sky to
the students attending this beautiful location. Perched on a hill overlooking the town of Durango,
Fort Lewis College is set amongst beautiful rolling hills that form the perfect frame for this
postcard of a community.
The staff of Fort Lewis and the brewers from the surrounding community are joining forces to
show the students of the Advanced Homebrewers Program all of the fun and hospitality of
Durango. Post-school activities will include tours of area breweries, dining at some of the many
brewpubs and beer-friendly restaurants, and meeting with local homebrewers and craft brewers
for spirited conversations over handcrafted beer. On nights with no scheduled events, students
can travel to any of the many area attractions (try mountain biking or ride the narrow gauge train)
or just relax and take at one of Durangos dozens of restaurant & bars.
