It's time to dust off your hiking boots and pack your sense of nostalgia-Outdoor Lab Foundation's annual benefit event, After Dark, is coming your way on Saturday, April 26th, 2025, from 5-10 PM at the Sheraton Denver West Hotel in Lakewood, CO!
If you thought your Outdoor Lab days were a blast as a kid, wait until you see what we've got in store for you as a grown-up. Think archery, fly fishing, and some seriously epic live and silent auctions-all with a camp-inspired cuisine and beverage twists (s'mores, anyone?). And if you missed Outdoor Lab back in the day, now's your chance to experience the magic, but with the added bonus of cocktails!
Not only will you get to relive those camp moments, but you'll also be making a real difference. Every ticket supports Outdoor Lab Foundation's mission to provide transformative outdoor experiences for Jeffco students, helping the next generation grow to be stewards of themselves, their community, and their environment. Grab your friends and secure your seat at our biggest event of the year!
Your ticket grants you more than just entry. Enjoy mouth-watering appetizers, a hearty family-style dinner, and two complimentary drinks to toast to outdoor education. Join us for an unforgettable night of great food, good company, and a cause that transforms young lives!

5:00 PM | Cocktails & Appetizers, Fly Fishing & Archery Stations, Silent Auction
