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. For more information please visit
