MOUNTAIN KIDS ACADEMY
Academy Location
Mountain Kids Academy takes place in beautiful Aspen, Colorado.With the high quality facilities of the school district and the amazing mountain trail network, Mountain Kids Academy is able to offer a stellar experience for its campers.
All participants must be signed out by a pre-designated adult when picked up.
The first two sessions of Mountain Kids Academy will be held at the Aspen School District campus.
- The morning will start off each day at the new football field below the Aspen Middle School. This facility has recently been remodeled with state of the art artificial turf. This makes an excellent surface for both Soccer and Lacrosse as it enables the balls to roll easily and makes ball handling more efficient. The beginners will especially appreciate this great new surface as it provides a very predictable platform for all activities.
- The Basketball portion of Mountain Kids Academy will be held on the Aspen School District campus as well. It will take place within one of the four gyms. The specific gym will be announced at a later date.
Please use the Middle School parking lot to park for any amount of time. There is no parking in the bus barn area.
Directions to the Aspen Campus (Football Field):
Heading towards Aspen on Hwy 82, take the first right exit out of the round-about on Maroon Creek Rd. Take the 3rd left into the bus barn garage area, you will see the football field entrance there.
See you there!
