Let us help you host your summer conference or group function at Fort Lewis College.
From mid-May to mid-August each year, Fort Lewis College makes available its housing, food services and other facilities for use by groups wanting an educational setting for hosting their conference, workshop or training.
The Durango, Colorado area is blessed with outstanding natural and cultural resources that offer many recreational and educational experiences-from river rafting, mountain biking, hiking, swimming in hot spring pools, visiting archaeological sites, boating, riding the Alpine Slide at Purgatory Ski Area, and riding the historic Durango/Silverton Narrow Gauge Train.
These resource amenities coupled with Fort Lewis College's housing, food services, classrooms, equipment and recreational facilities make a conference or group function an enjoyable and affordable option.
