Out of camp trips, ranging from 1-5 days in duration, are the highlight of each term at CSC. Campers of every age choose from a variety of expeditions appropriate to their age group.

The opportunities inherent in wilderness travel to inspire self-confidence and independence are unmatched. During each day on the trail, campers are responsible for setting up camp, preparing meals, and keeping their gear together and mess kits clean...all of which require a cooperative yet individual effort fostering self-reliance and group awareness.

The Four Corners region is ideal for wilderness exploration due to its diverse geography. Within a three-hour ride, campers can be rafting the Gunnison River, exploring Anasazi ruins in Utah, discovering a ghost town near the Continental Divide, or climbing a lofty peak in the Weminuche Wilderness.

"Ryan has attended Colvig Silver Camps three summers and he loved each trip. I have observed that he seems more confident, independent and happy. Ryan likes having choices about his trips at his age; he enjoys having some control over what he does. He has learned to make friends too." - Parent, Clarendon Hills, IL ·
