Join us for an exciting winter outdoor experience at Camp Always Choose Adventures (Camp ACA)! This guided snowshoe clinic is designed to introduce participants of all ages to the basics of snowshoeing, winter travel, and staying safe and comfortable in the mountains.
This is a family-friendly adventure — kids are encouraged to attend. Camp ACA has a large collection of kid and toddler snowshoes, making this the perfect way for families to experience their first winter hike together.
Together, we’ll explore the beautiful winter landscape of Central City while building confidence, community, and connection in the outdoors. Snowshoes are available, and no previous experience is required — just bring warm layers, winter boots, and a sense of adventure.
This beginner-friendly outing is hosted in partnership with Advocates for Recovery Colorado, creating a welcoming, supportive space focused on wellness, movement, and time in nature.
