A typical schedule for a week is as follows:

Sunday - check in at Camp Alexander and meet up with other Outback participants and staff. Get acquainted with one another.
Monday - Acclimatization day*. Participants will spend the day hiking on and around Camp Alexander and hiking to the top of Blue Mountain to get ready for what is to come later in the week.
Tuesday - Rock Climbing. The group loads up and heads to Colorado Springs where they will meet professional guides & our friends at Front Range Climbing to climb in Red Rocks Canyon Open Space.
Wednesday - Pikes Peak. Participants get an early start and head to the trailhead on the West side of Pikes Peak. This trailhead starts at around 10,000' and winds up the mountain topping out at 14,115'. This day requires participants to be in peak physical condition. The route is about 15 miles round trip and will leave you exhausted and fulfilled. And before you ask, no, we won't be taking the train or the highway, but be sure to bring some money to buy those world-famous Pikes Peak doughnuts.
Thursday - Mountain Biking. You should come to camp already knowing how to ride a bike. None of the biking will be dangerous or technical, but the higher elevation will make it seem tough.
Friday - Whitewater Rafting. The crew loads up early and heads to Canyon City to meet up with our partners at River Runners for a full day of rafting on the Arkansas River.
Saturday - Back to reality...
