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 picnic 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. Come join us at
Camp ECO.
