Grand Trunk Hammocks just helped bring our new Hammock Haven to life at Camp ACA… and we already had our first guest 🫎

An elk stopped by before the campers did.

Come unplug, swing in the trees, and see who visits next. Huge thank you to Grand Trunk for helping us create one more way to make the outdoors accessible for everyone.

This week we had the honor of wrapping up another school year of outdoor adventure clinics with Colorado’s Finest High School of Choice!

Yesterday, students completed a 5-mile hike through Waterton Canyon and spotted two massive bears on the hillside. Today, they learned Tent POP, teamwork, and even had hands on experience cooking backpacking meals with Jetboils. They voted Mountain House Kung Pao Chicken as the favorite.

These experiences are only possible because of our donors, members, and supporters. Thank you for helping us get more kids outdoors. ❤️

Another year of Mini Adventure Clinics with Colorado’s Finest High School of Choice! 🙌

Today we hit the water at Chatfield Reservoir and introduced a group of students to paddleboarding for the very first time. Watching young people step outside their comfort zones, build confidence, learn new skills, and experience Colorado’s outdoors is exactly why we do what we do.

These clinics are made possible because of our amazing supporters, members, donors, and volunteers. Every donation helps us continue providing outdoor education and adventure opportunities to youth who may not otherwise have access to them.

If you believe every kid deserves a chance to experience the outdoors, please consider supporting our mission at AlwaysChooseAdventures.org

💙 Breaking Barriers to Bring the Outdoors to Everyone.

We have such an amazing community, and this is just one example of it in action.

The Calma family first connected with ACA on New Year’s Eve when their son, Jensen, became the very first beta tester for our new Braille Trail. They later chose ACA as the focus of a homeschool community service project, for their other son Christian, and what started as a simple project quickly turned into something much more. ✨🥰

Over Memorial Day weekend, they volunteered to run our booth in downtown Idaho Springs while we managed Camp ACA. They raised over $500 for our programs and expenses, secured generous raffle donations from local businesses, and helped spread the word about our mission.

We are continually amazed by the kindness and generosity of our community. Thank you, Calma family, for giving your time, energy, and hearts to ACA. 🙌🏼❤️

Glad he’s okay!

An injured climber was successfully rescued Friday, May 22, after falling approximately 1,000 feet while ascending the Bell Cord snowfield on Maroon Peak.
