Testimonials

"Once I found out about adaptive skiing, I wasn't feeling like my life was over anymore. There was hope. It gave me something to hold on to and something to look forward to. It gave me something to live for. " -Mary Porter, US Army Veteran with ALS

"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."  

"We absolutely love and adore the Challenge Aspen programs. Every year after attending Challenge Aspen, our son gains new skills, gets more confident and has the best time of his life." 

"I can confidently say, after years of dealing with doctors, therapy, and medications; nothing, absolutely nothing, is more effective than being able to ski with my family."

"My students have benefitted have been exposed to sports and activities that they would never have otherwise considered trying with encouragement from Challenge Aspen. Being involved with adaptive sports has increased mobility and physical health for my students and has pushed them beyond what they had believed possible for themselves. In addition to improving their physical health, participation in adaptive sports has also improved their social-emotional wellbeing. Because of the success that they experienced in challenging situations and because of exposure to new and hard things, their self-confidence has increased tremendously. They are all more willing to try something new and feel confident when they do so. Challenge Aspen has also created a huge social circle and support network for the young adults with disabilities in our communities, where they otherwise may not have had those opportunities. "
