Nerd Nite Presents: Singles Do Solstice!
An Overnight Adventure Under the Stars
What happens when you bring together curious singles, rocket launches, stargazing, great food, and a little cosmic chemistry?
You get Singles Do Solstice!
Join Nerd Nite Colorado Springs and Storyfull Matchmaking at Observer Ranch on December 19–20 for a winter solstice adventure designed to spark curiosity, conversation, and maybe even a little romance.
This isn’t your typical singles mixer! We’ll kick things off with rocket launching, followed by fun, facilitated small-group conversations that make meeting new people easier and more enjoyable. Then we’ll gather for a delicious dinner, stargazing, and fireside conversations.
Stay overnight and enjoy a leisurely breakfast together Sunday morning, with an optional hot springs outing for anyone who wants to keep the connections going. Use code NERDNITE for 20% off lodging for stays Dec 19–20.
Come for the adventure, meet some interesting people, and see what sparks!

About Your Hosts
Nerd Nite Colorado Springs is like the Discovery Channel meets happy hour! Our usual monthly events feature entertaining 15–20 minute talks on fascinating, funny, and unexpected topics, followed by audience Q&A. The idea is simple: learn something new, have fun, and talk about it afterward with a friend or someone you just met.
Storyfull Matchmaking, founded by matchmaker and dating coach Jennie Agin, helps people build meaningful connections through personalized matchmaking, dating coaching, and thoughtfully designed social experiences.
Singles Do Solstice is a different spin on Nerd Nite. Rather than sitting down for presentations, we’re taking the curiosity, fun, and social energy of Nerd Nite into a shared adventure. Through hands-on activities, engaging conversations, and time to relax together, we’re creating opportunities for friendships, romantic connections, and everything in between.
