Building Relationships through Traditional Outdoor Recreation
Colorado Youth Outdoors
Where Relationships Grow
Colorado Youth Outdoors (CYO) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that was created in 2001. CYO’s mission is building relationships through traditional outdoor recreation. To accomplish this mission, we integrate the phrases Participate, Appreciate, Communicate, and Dedicate into our recreation curriculum. We call this method of integration the PACD Model and incorporate it within all our activities, including fishing, archery, camping, shooting sports, and nature play.
