Challenge Aspen
Challenge Aspen’s mission is providing recreational and cultural
experiences for people with disabilities, helping them master new skills
and enhancing their lives. People with disabilities face challenges that
extend beyond the scope of their real physical limitations, with
isolations being the most difficult.
Activities ranging from fishing to
cross country skiing help participants overcome that isolation; build
self-confidence and HAVE FUN – along with their families and friends.
For the past 6 years, EAMNF has sponsored 40 children attending the
camp, a total of 240 campers.
