Montezuma Inspire Coalition - MIC

Montezuma Inspire Coalition - MIC MIC is a collaboration of organizations working to together to get kids and their families outdoors!

WHO IS THE MIC?
• A group of 10+ organizations and members in and around Montezuma County who are collaborating to get youth outside and connected to nature
• MIC has received funding from Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) to create a diverse multi-year program to connect youth and our community with the outdoors

WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?
• Kids in the United States today only spend an average of 4-7 m

inutes outside per day in unstructured play
• Children who spend less time outdoors experience a wide range of behavioral problems ranging from limited respect for their natural surroundings to obesity, ADD, and even depression
• We want to build a stronger community in Montezuma County for our youth and their families

WHAT IS OUR VISION?
• To create a system where we engage youth beginning in preschool and empower them through high school and beyond with age-appropriate outdoor curriculum and program activities in and out of the school setting
• We will develop PLACES, PROGRAMS, and PATHWAYS to teach, develop and empower the youth in Montezuma County
• Our GOAL is to instill in our youth and families a stewardship and compassion for the outdoors that will follow them throughout their lives

What a fun opportunity to see Sand Canyon after dark!

📣 We have last minute openings for the Sand Canyon full moon hike!!

This trail is usually closed after sunset, so this is a rare chance to see it under a different light. From sunset to moonrise, hikers will visit several ancient pueblos and discover the wildlife that calls this special place home!
