KENNEDY MOUNTAIN CAMPUS

At the University of Denver, learning is not confined to a single place. As the only institution in the nation offering every student a fully integrated experience across both urban and mountain campuses, DU is redefining what a college education can be.

At the KMC, students don’t just visit the mountains; they grow within them. What was once a DU tradition is now a defining academic and co-curricular experience, accessible to every student. By expanding the classroom into the outdoors, KMC cultivates confidence, well-being, and character that shapes a lifetime of purpose driven impact.

On 1Day4DU, your generosity becomes part of the KMC through sustaining the trails, stewarding the land, and supporting the volunteers who make sure its 724 acres remain a place of discovery and growth.

One person – one supporter – can make miles of difference.
