Interim Program

Interim Hero

One of CA's Signature Programs, Interim is designed to offer students experiences that can test and refine their skills as well as strengthen their compassion, commitment, and tenacity—all while having fun!

Each spring, students in the Middle and Upper Schools participate in weeklong Interim trips designed to immerse students and faculty in experiences and pursuits that broaden their skills, test their abilities, and sharpen the awareness of the world in which they live. Whether they engage in artistic pursuits, service learning trips, or wilderness expeditions throughout the Rocky Mountains, CA alumni often describe the Interim program as their favorite CA tradition.

For Ninth Grade Interim, I went on the hut-to-hut ski trip. I was so nervous because I had never done anything like that before. During that trip our whole group ended up bonding with each other and having so much fun. I also learned perseverance and to overcome challenges.
