About

The 724-acre James C. Kennedy Mountain Campus (KMC) enables DU students to experience the transformative power of 4D in nature.

DU is now the only university in the nation to offer all students an integrated educational experience across urban and mountain campuses, providing every student with an unmatched breadth of learning opportunities in these settings.

With a common outdoor learning experience and equitable access to the outdoors for all students, the KMC brings the history of DU students spending time in the mountains into the formalized academic and extracurricular foundation for all students, while accelerating student development in the areas of well-being and character.

On 1DAY4DU, join the Mile Makers Fund to make a lasting impact and leave your footprint on the Kennedy Mountain Campus. The Mile Makers Fund helps develop, maintain, and support the trail system and its volunteers across the 724-acre property.

One person โ€“ one supporter โ€“ can make miles of difference.


  • A $100 gift trains a student trail crew leader in CPR/First Aid/AED Training.
  • A $250 gift equips two volunteer student crew members with the needed tools.
