What We Do...

Life with young children in the Roaring Fork Valley can be active, fun and fast paced. It can also be difficult to navigate and challenging for parents to find resources and support. We polled parents and asked what information and resources were lacking. Families asked for a central digital hub for local information on camps, childcare, activities, well-being and other resources. Based on those responses, we created the Aspen Kids Guide to better serve families in our community.
