About the Aspen Winter Games
The Aspen Winter Games Program is an 8 day adaptive snowboard and ski recreation program held every year for over 200 participants, including children, their medical team, instructors, and volunteers. Children living with cancer or another life threatening illness are taken to the slopes in Aspen and given everything they need to ski or ride, including lift tickets, gear, lodging, meals, transportation, and one-on-one adaptive lessons. Kids also enjoy dance parties, movie nights, swimming, campfires, snowmobiling, crafts, games and more!
The emphasis of the week is on empowering each child and giving them a sense of hope, by pushing them to accomplish things on the mountain that they never thought possible. Activities also bond children with one another, giving them life-long relationships through which they gain strength and support for the journey ahead. Each child learns to focus on all that they can do, rather than their limitations. Click on the links below to learn more!
“My life has been changed. I have hope and that makes a huge difference in how I feel when I wake up each morning. Now I want to live all day, every day.”
