Aspen Camp for the Deaf & Hard of Hearing

Aspen Camp is one of my favorite place in the world because the kids can hang out around with other kids from their ages and admire to staff members as role model. The kids will learn more about themselves, their background, etc.
I remember when I first went to Aspen Camp in ’92 and I was little nervous because that was my first time get away from home. I met some cool staff members and campers from out of states, even from Colorado too. I learned alots about the camp and learned about them too. I don’t have to stay home with family all summer because it can get bored being around. I would have fun being around with staff and campers when went back in every summer. I have been there for some years until 2000, I am glad I get chance to be there as my last year as camper in 2000.
The last time I was there as camper in 2000, they change lots now and it look much better and improve after 2000. That bring me some great and good memories. Hope we will have a big reunion next year and it would be great to see old staff and campers, share some great memories together.

Aspen Camp was truly magical, transforming the lives of many people beyond comprehension and recognition!
I first went when I was 8 years old, before several of the facilities were renovated or built, actually. The last time I went there was as a staff there, when I was 19 years old.
Aspen Camp provides a safe place for children to grow, learn, and discover. It also provides a safe place for young adults to grow, learn, and discover. I can vouch for both since I went there as a camper six times and as a staff twice.
I’d always recommend Aspen Camp to parents of a young deaf child looking for a summer camp or to young adults looking for a summer job. This place is the place to be, truly magical and inspiring.
Camply Yours,

It really gets 4 stars because the facilities is a bit outdated. It reminds you of a 70’s campground. However, I know they’re working on getting the funds to revamp everything.
It gets 5 stars though because of the amazing memories I have here. I truly found who I was and comfort in being a deaf person at Aspen Camp. My stepfather worked there for many years before he joined my family. I attended for 8 straight years until I was too old to be a camper. By then I was busy in high school and working full time in the summer. But never have I forgotten the beauty of this place.
It’s full of lush landscaping, mountains, wild animals, and inspirational energy to help you find what you’re looking for. The programs ACDHH offers are designed to match many people’s ages, preferences, and goals. Summer camp for youth are the best. Nothing beats being around your peers without limitations.
Here you just have fun being you. :) Nothing is better than that.
I am forever grateful to this camp and will be a lifelong supporter and donor. I’m lucky that my mother is now the Executive Director because now I can visit any time I want. How wonderful is that?!
