Colorado Springs, CO - Trail Cleanup

Event Description

July 14 - 18, 2025 (4 nights Monday-Friday) See Ticket Options Below ⬇️

Colorado Springs is a very special place for the FI community which is why 4 CampFIs will be held there this July! Come join us in giving back to the area through trail cleanup and community garden volunteering! 

The trip will take place Monday - Friday with 3 volunteer days - Tues, Wed, & Thurs. It will bridge CampFI Rocky Mountain Weekends 2 and 3 so if you're going to one of those CampFIs or if you want to visit the beautiful Rocky Mountains and travel with purpose, this is a fantastic way to have fun while giving back to the community.

Volunteer Partner: Keep Colorado Springs Beautiful

Type of Volunteer Work: Trail cleanup/community garden maintenance. Specific tasks, locations and details determined closer to trip date. 

No experience is necessary. All instruction, tools, supervision and PPE will be provided. Expect to work hard, get dirty, be flexible, make and impact and have fun. 

Group Size: 15

Space is limited so get your ticket sooner rather than later. Smaller groups are what make FI Service Corps trips so special. In addition to impactful volunteer work, a core emphasis of our service trips is to facilitate connection and togetherness amongst our group and the community we are serving. Participants should expect to have ample opportunity to share downtime, interact with one another, play games, explore the local area and support local businesses. 

Lodging and Room Arrangements

We will be staying in a very well located Hostel in the heart of Colorado Springs that has easy access to trails, rivers and restaurants. A mix of private (queen) and shared (bunk) rooms are blocked for our group. Note, other guests outside our group will be at the property but we will have our own dedicated rooms, bathrooms and there is ample communal space to come together. See the ticket options for details.
