Colorado Health and Physical Education Summit 2026
June 3 & 4, 2026 - 8am-4pm
Join us at the Third Annual Colorado Health and Physical Education Summit on Wednesday, June 3rd & Thursday, June 4th, 2026, for an exhilarating two-day event dedicated to advancing wellness in our communities! The Summit will be held at Hinkley High School in Aurora.
What makes this conference so exciting is that every session is grounded in best practices in health and physical education and intentionally models effective instructional strategies. Sessions are standards-aligned and focus on assessment, inclusion, student voice, and teacher growth. You’ll find both classroom-based and activity-based sessions, but you won’t be sitting silently through lectures or just playing games with no connection to teaching and learning. This conference is designed to give you ideas and strategies that actually make it back into your classroom and elevate the experience your students have every day.
This summit promises inspiration, networking opportunities, and a shared commitment to fostering healthier futures. Don't miss this chance to shape the future of health and physical education in Colorado!

Keynote Speaker: Lucy Harris
Keynote Speaker: Lucy Harris
Lucy Harris is a 13‑year‑old adaptive athlete and passionate advocate for disability inclusion. After a motor vehicle accident at age ten left her paralyzed, Lucy set out to prove that her athletic goals didn’t disappear—they simply changed direction. With determination and a competitive spirit, she has embraced adaptive sports and used her voice to educate others about accessibility, resilience, and the power of perseverance.
Since her injury, Lucy has explored a wide range of adaptive activities, including sled hockey, rock climbing, white‑water rafting, hiking, and even completing a 5K. Her current favorite sports include wheelchair basketball, skiing, cycling, racing, paddleboarding, swimming, and staying active through CrossFit.
Lucy frequently speaks to schools and community groups about adaptive athletics and disability rights, encouraging others to rethink what athletes look like. She believes every student deserves the opportunity to be seen as a competitor—not a spectator—and she works every day to help make that vision a reality.
