Challenge Aspen

Challenge Aspen is hosting their Music and Dance camp at TACAW this year from July 8th to 12th. 

Last year, our best volunteers were high school students!!

Each volunteer is paired with a buddy for the week who has a disability, helping them learn their lines, getting them into character, and helping with their performance if they need the assistance. The camp is Monday – Friday with rehearsal each day from about 8am – 2pm, ending with the performance on Friday, July 12th at Noon. Students will receive at least 25 hours of community service. It is open to the public and is free of charge. For questions, please email info@challengeaspen.org.
