We're participating in the first-ever Youth Sports Giving Day! Every donation made on September 4th will be matched dollar for dollar thanks to generous support from The Daniels Fund, The Weld Trust, Denver Broncos Foundation, Alpine Bank, Rose Community Foundation, Strohm Link Family Foundation, Anschutz Foundation, and other sponsors.
Did you know youth with disabilities are 4.5x less likely than their peers to participate in physical activity of any kind? Help us bridge the gap by making a donation that helps us provide year-round adaptive recreation opportunities.

Testimonials
"We absolutely love and adore the Challenge Aspen programs, both Winter & Summer. Every year after attending Challenge Aspen, our son gains new skills, gets more confident and has the best time of his life." - REC Participant
"I can confidently say, after years of dealing with doctors, therapy, and medications; nothing, absolutely nothing, is more effective than being able to ski in Colorado with my family." - CAMO Participant
"Our Kiddo’s experience with Challenge Aspen builds her confidence, brings joy, helps develop her gross motor skills, and focus in a way few experiential programs could provide. We are so grateful to the Challenge team and their commitment to provide possibilities for all." - REC Participant
"The stress management techniques and breathing exercises that I learned while at CAMO archery have helped me immensely. I was not only able to improve my archery skills, but also I felt an immediate positive impact on my family life and my work. CAMO afforded me a much needed change of place, pace, and face." - CAMO Participant
