The Upward Bound Summer Olympics brings together students, staff, and supporters from Upward Bound programs across Colorado for two days of connection, collaboration, and community. This annual event provides an opportunity for participants to build new friendships, strengthen leadership skills, engage in team-building activities, and celebrate the shared mission of supporting student success and college readiness.

Rather than focusing solely on competition, the Summer Olympics is designed to foster camaraderie, school spirit, and meaningful connections among TRIO Upward Bound programs from across the state. Participants will enjoy engaging activities, opportunities to meet peers from other programs, and the chance to experience the beautiful Colorado State University campus.
