Aspen Camp of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing is offering thrilling Wilderness Adventure camps for deaf and hard-of-hearing youth ages 8 to 16 with opportunities to build self-identity, confidence and social skills through outdoor education, backpacking, arts, drama, horseback riding, whitewater rafting, swimming, climbing, challenge course, and leadership development activities. Older teens (ages 17-19) serve as Counselors in Training and as role models for younger participants.
