2024 FMHS Trip:

Students from Fruita Monument High School took part in an exciting outdoor learning experience at the Outdoor Wilderness Lab (OWL) in Gateway, Colorado. This trip gave students the chance to explore scenic trails while developing their skills in mountain biking and outdoor safety.

Beyond riding, students built confidence, strengthened teamwork, and experienced the unique benefits of learning in nature. OWL’s programs are designed to challenge students, encourage personal growth, and inspire a lifelong connection to the outdoors.
