SUMMER CAMPS

An Aspen summer is like no other. The days are filled with sunshine, the evening skies are studded with stars, and the night air is cool enough to savor a toasty bonfire. Challenge Aspen has created summer camps for the music, art and dance enthusiast and the outdoor adventurer in your family. Our weeklong camps provide the perfect setting, a knowledgeable staff and, for kids’ camps, a safe, natural community where they are free to create memories of their own to share with you at the end of a beautiful Colorado day.

The Magic of Music and Dance Camp

July 22nd to July 26th, 2019 – Basalt Middle School

Early Bird Registration $1050 (until June 1st) – Regular Registration $1100

This week-long day camp provides artists of ALL AGES with disabilities the opportunity to release their creative spirits and express themselves through dance, movement, singing and acting.

This year’s performance will be an original show based on friendships, called “The Friends We Are”. The show will focus on different aspects of our friendships, from wanting to make friends, to relying on them when times are tough. Disney and original songs will accompany each scenario. Do you have any examples that could be one of the scenes? We could also pair it with a song you would really like to sing. We would like your suggestions!

Participants create and rehearse a full stage production with dialogue, songs, costumes and dance. Afternoon activities include swimming, whitewater rafting and a family BBQ. The camp culminates with a magical performance of the production for the local community. Lunch is provided Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.

Camp will meet each day at Basalt Middle School where morning rehearsal and final performance will take place. Afternoon activity locations will vary based on activity.
