Educational Weekly Themes
Each week a fun theme helps the campers focus on a topic. Crafts for the
week's theme are set up each morning on picknick tables in the park. We
offer a variety of things to create with drawings & rubbings, glueing &
coloring... we often use natural items in the craft projects of the day. The
colorful overflowing ECO Bead Box is a kids favorite to make long displays
hanging from their backpacks. Each craft can be simple for the beginners or
expanded to challenge the best of crafters. Fun games like kickball and
capture the flag football are daily requests from the kids with then a short
morning hike before lunch. Camp Ecology afternoons are full of exploration
and discovery. With the weekly theme on minds, we take short hikes to other
parks in Aspen to use our ECO Nature Discovery Kits. Two Field trips a week
to ACES (Aspen Center for Environmental Studies) reinforces our educational
themes. The nature center offers a fully natural experience for our campers.
Pick-up time always includes fun stories of the day's adventures.
