WELCOME TO CROW CANYON
Crow Canyon’s beautiful, 170-acre campus features a large meadow, pinyon- and juniper-covered hillsides, and spectacular views of Mesa Verde.

Lodging and Amenities
Campus facilities include the Gates Building, which houses classrooms, education and research laboratories, offices, a lodge, which contains the dining hall and a lounge; six comfortable, modern cabins, built in 2015; and ten comfortable, rustic cabins modeled after Navajo hogans. Two learning centers—one a replica of an ancient pithouse, the other a reconstructed pueblo—overlook campus from opposite hillsides.

Students “experience” another time and culture in replica Pueblo Indian structures on the Crow Canyon campus.
