This Year’s Theme: Rewriting Your Story
Each of us has the power to go beyond our comfort zones to make our dreams a reality.
We have turned the skill of goal setting into a creative day called Re-Writing Your Story. Using written, visual and theatre arts, we will practice setting new visions and dreams for ourselves and re-writing the story of our lives to prove reaching our goals is possible.
Announcing Lodging Reimbursement Scholarships!
This year we are pleased to announce reimbursement scholarships to offset lodging expenses for groups traveling 75 miles or more to the summit. Thank you to one of our partners, The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, for helping make the summit a truly state wide event.

Our nominal registration fee includes breakfast, lunch, an afternoon snack and all supplies. This registration fee offsets less than 25% of the per person cost of producing this event. It is the generosity of our many partners who are part of the collaboration and the CO9to25 movement that make this possible. That said, we are committed to the summit being accessible to, and meaningful for, all youth ages 13-19 and adults who work with them. Emailmark.s.pergola@kp.org if our registration fee poses a hardship or barrier to attendance.
