Been raising our summer camp as long as we’ve been raising our own kids! Two decades of fun in the Aspen sun building sports skills, rockets, and relationships! Registration for our two weeklong sessions starting June 1st is open! Visit the website linked in our profile.

Question for my Roaring Fork Valley peeps:
If my dad drove a truck full of fresh cut Noble Firs for the holidays out from Oregon and we provided a preorder and pick up in Aspen November 24-26, give a ❤️ for this post. We’re trying to decide if it’s worth the effort again after a 10 year hiatus!

Mountain Kids Academy’s 16th summer sports camps are under way!

Last day of June Sport Skills Camps 2021!

More time than ever before spent focused on integrity and sportsmanship. Wonder if it could be a result of a pandemic and a hiccup in social norms, boundaries, expectations, and practice. A curious study, but now, more than ever, we need social-emotional opportunities, both structured with guidance from parents, coaches, and counselors, as well as unstructured play.

In all the capacities relevant, my coaches and I hosted and facilitated nearly 120 rising 1st-6th graders through skills of soccer, lacrosse, baseball, frisbee, basketball, archery, plus the details of model rocket building with lots of laughs and cool downs with the hose!

Thanks to everyone who came out for our 15th summer of fun in the Aspen sun!
