CAMO Western Slope Socials
Working with local veterans is a priority for Challenge Aspen.
The Western Slope Social series is tailored to provide accessible, affordable drop-in recreational activities for Colorado based veterans with permanent disabilities. These short programs run year-round, with activities changing with the seasons.
Each Western Slope Social event has a limited number of spots available on a first-come, first-served basis, secured through payment of the registration fee. Prior to registration, please review our eligibility criteria and cancellation policy. The registration fee encompasses shared lodging, dinners, activity instruction, and equipment. Participants are responsible for their own transportation. Currently, Western Slope Socials are not open to friends or family.
