peace day hike

Peace Day Hike - Sept 17th

Who: All ages are welcome!
(Please Note: As this is a community event before school hours, parents/guardians are asked to accompany their child(ren) for the duration of the hike).

When: Thursday, September 17, 2026 at 5:30 AM - 7:30 AM

What: Please join us for a Peace Day Sunrise Hike up North Table Mesa! The hike is just over 4 miles.

We will leave together at 5:30 AM from the front steps of the main building (Golden Campus). We’ll walk from campus to the trailhead just north of the school on Easley Road, then up the Lithic Trail, turning left on the North Table Loop. Then we’ll head up the Cottonwood Canyon Trail to the summit. This is a no-dog event, I am sorry for the inconvenience.

Sunrise on September 17th will be at 6:44 AM. We plan to be back down off the mesa in time for school.

Please make sure to bring water.

Peace Day is to acknowledge and help children understand respect, the level of community, being able to resolve issues in a peaceful way, and that conflict doesn’t have to result in violence and aggression, we can find a middle ground through peaceful means. We create a peaceful community from within that is the energy we send into the world.

The Benefits of Family Meals

There are two ways to look at mealtimes: as obstacles or opportunities. Experts from Children’s Hospital Colorado encourage you to view meals as opportunities to connect with one another, to build healthy relationships with food and to instill valuable skills.
