Quicktime movieWatch an older video clip featuring Kieve West.

Kieve West is a 23-day co-ed summer wilderness experience set in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains for 16-18 year old men & women. The Mountains of Colorado offer an amazing environment for learning, developing leadership skills, making lifelong friends, and exploring the rugged,
Wild West. Over the course of our 23-day trip, we’ll go on a 12-day backpacking trip, spend 2 days rock-climbing, complete a
Wilderness First Aid course, and go rafting on the Arkansas River. Kieve-Wavus partners with Moondance Adventures to handle all of the logistics of the trip.
While a lot of fun, you should understand that Kieve West is an intense leadership course and there will be classes on
leadership and wilderness. Participants are 16-18 year old men and women who aspire to become outdoor leaders, hopefully at
Kieve or Wavus.
