We strive to maximize outdoor time, taking advantage of the stunning landscapes of Marble and the Roaring Fork Valley. Most days will be spent in Marble, with 1-2 days dedicated to planned activities in the neighboring towns of Carbondale, Aspen, and Glenwood Springs.
Each day is carefully planned to ensure safety, engagement, and educational value. Participants will have the opportunity to explore new environments, learn about their community, and create lasting memories.
Transportation: Bus service is provided for pick-up and drop-off! The bus route extends to the Carbondale area each day.
Eligibility: The minimum age for our program is 4 years old. Participants are not required to be MCS students and are warmly welcomed! We average 15-20 kids per day with ages ranging from 4 years to 12 years old.
Summer Program Fee Information: It is currently $65/day per child to attend. Payment is required in advance for the week of the days your child plans to attend. Please note that we cannot provide refunds for missed days, as we budget according to the number of participants. However, we will issue credit towards future days. Depending on charitable donations, scholarships may be available with a qualifying Economic Data Survey.
