Outreach

Fremont Adventure Recreation strives to organize and support numerous events throughout the community.  Additionally, we support a Scholarship, trash clean-ups, trail building projects.

Scholarship

Starting in 2015, FAR has awarded 2-$750 scholarships to graduating seniors at Cañon City High School.  Cañon City High School graduating seniors are eligible to apply only if they have VOLUNTEERED or PARTICIPATED in a FAR event during the last two years.  Recipients will be chosen based upon their involvement/participation, the quality of their essay submission, and their stated future plan.  Financial need is also a consideration.

Stewardship

Picture
We participate in a number of stewardship initiatives and  conferences. We are proud Leave No Trace members and do our best to promote positive trail practices. We work to include the Seven Principles in our Adventure Kids Series, in our Adventure Guide, and in all of the publications / social media posts that we're a part of. 

Trash Clean-up

With the help of the Fremont County Department of Transportation, FAR has adopted a 2 mile stretch of Red Canyon Road.  We gather trash twice a year, usually April and October. Please join us for our next outing and help to keep Red Canyon Road beautiful.  Follow us on Facebook to stay current with upcoming dates.
