At Challenge Aspen, we welcome everyone to participate regardless of their ability or skill level. We encourage groups and individuals to get on the slopes and then socialize with others in a variety of après ski activities. Challenge Aspen will provide the support needed for everyone to enjoy a winter adventure!
Thank you for your interest in Challenge Aspen’s Adventure Awards Program for the 2019/2020 season. Challenge Aspen offers awards twice a year, in the summer and winter seasons. You must apply each season in order to be eligible for an award for that season. Applying for an award or receiving an award in the past does not guarantee that you will receive an award this season. Awards are based on financial need. Proof of household (most recent tax returns) is required at time of application. Challenge Aspen will deduct participant medical expenses from your total household income to determine you award level. You will be notified upon review of your application request, at which time we ask that you take responsibility for registering as early as possible!
Challenge Aspen strives to make our activities accessible to as many participants as possible. We fundraise year-round to provide opportunities for all. Challenge Aspen’s program prices, by default, include significant discounts. We ask that you consider this when requesting an award, assisting us in our goal to provide possibilities for as many of those with disabilities as possible. Thank you!
ADVENTURE AWARD APPLICATIONS ARE ACCEPTED ON A ROLLING BASIS HOWEVER, THE MAJORITY OF FUNDS ARE AWARDED TO THOSE APPLYING ON OR BEFORE November 15th (Winter) and June 1st (Summer).
Challenge Aspen is a fabulous program. Our son has participated for the last four years, and we'll back next winter. We cannot thank Challenge Aspen enough for giving him such a special gift...learning to ski. He loves it! His instructors have all treated him with such kindness and respect. They work so hard to help him overcome all his fears and give him an abundance of confidence. Challenge Aspen has made it possible for our son to ski with his brother. Together, the boys can share their love for skiing, that was only possible because of Challenge Aspen. Our son will continue to work on all his skills and thrive because of Challenge Aspen. Thank you so much!
