What is "community" and does Boulder have it?
What a person seeks in "community" varies between people. Some people "commune" with nature and the outdoors. Others seek a religious or spiritual community. For families, community involves the quality or curriculm of education and recreation opportunities for their children. Economic opportunity through employment or through the creation of a business enterprise may be the center of community for others.
Boulder offers something for everyone. If you are an outdoor enthusiast, you will find road bicycling, mountain biking, rock climbing, snow skiing, kayaking, paragliding, fly fishing, hiking, camping, snow boarding, golf, running and more. If you are a spectator, you will enjoy Denver's professional sport teams as well as those of the University of Colorado. For both children and adults looking to participate, there are numerous amateur sports leagues.
Life style is supported in other ways in Boulder as well. The religious and spiritual offerings are varied as is the scope of healthcare practitioners. The Boulder art community is broad-based and rich in it's offerings.
