Aspen Camp of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing

Year Round Programming at Aspen Camp



The breadth of programming offered by the AC ranges from Wilderness Adventure for children to customized adult group retreats to program hosting. For over 40 years, the AC has offered specialized programming for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.

Deaf awareness and American Sign Language classes were then incorporated into community programming, which has since expanded to include great programs such as outdoor education for school-age children.

Experiential-based learning is at the core of all AC programs utilizing the valuable resources available to the camp. Through these means, the AC offers fun, active, and intelligent programming tailored for all types of groups and special needs.

Customize or join an existing program! Please visit the section that best applies to your situation for more in-depth information of the options available to you. Feel free to contact AC to work with a planner.
