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 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.
