A Sampling of Programs and Events

At The Academy your life is what you want it be. Whatever you choose there's always so much to experience and share with family and friends. We provide a multitude of on-site and off-site cultural, educational, social and recreational programs and events.

Musical opportunities include a chamber concert series and University of Colorado student and faculty concerts in our own beautiful historic Auditorium, as well as Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra, University of Colorado Artist Series and Colorado Music Festival concerts in Boulder and musical performances at the Denver Performing Arts Center and the Central City Opera.
On-site educational opportunities include University of Colorado retired professor lectures, poetry-writing workshops, book groups and current events discussions, just to name a few. Off-site, with the University of Colorado only a few blocks away, you can enroll in classes and attend the annual World Affairs Conference and other on-campus educational workshops and forums.
If you enjoy theater, we offer the opportunity to attend performances at the Boulder Dinner Theater, the University Theater, and the Denver Performing Arts Center.
If you enjoy art, try your hand at our oil painting or ceramics classes, or come along to view exhibits at the Denver Art Museum.
If you're a sports fan, attend football or basketball games at C.U.
Pairing fun and good company with delectable food, we offer monthly food demonstrations and ethnic dinner celebrations, as well as festive dinners, brunches and barbeques on holidays and special occasions throughout the year.
If you enjoy wine, attend our Wine Club-sponsored wine tastings and wine dinners, where our chefs pair a variety of wines with delicious cuisine.
With mountain trails just outside your door, hike with our Hiking Club or enjoy a walk in peaceful surroundings.
We offer three levels of exercise classes, so you can strengthen your body and improve your overall health at a pace and in a style that work comfortably for you.
If you prefer an individual workout, we offer a fitness room with a variety of exercise equipment.
If you'd like to indulge yourself, we can arrange for a soothing massage or a manicure or pedicure in the calm of our massage room or in the privacy of your residence.
Our nurses offer wellness services and educational classes on health-based topics.
Each year we take one or two road trips, which have included excursions to southern Colorado to see the migration of the Sand Hill Cranes, to South Dakota to see Mount Rushmore, to Santa Fe for an opera and art gallery experience, and to Jackson Hole and Yellowstone National Park for river rafting and other wilderness adventures.
Because we are such a small community, many of our programs and activities can be tailored to meet your individual tastes and interests.
