The AC compliments any agenda as much or as little as needed.

All businesses and organizations depend on the effectiveness of the employees working together. AC has the resources to develop this vital cohesion through unique team building and group activities. Enhance any group retreat by incorporating the AC ropes challenge course, for example, which develops team skills, communication, and mutual support. It is also an exhilarating experience!

Western Slope Spring Retreat
The annual spring retreat will be brought back after a year’s hiatus due to overwhelming demand. AC anticipates more than 20 deaf and hard of hearing students plus teachers and parent chaperones from the western slope of Colorado to attend this event. While this event is a primarily educational, it also serves to meet the interaction/socialization purposes as outlined in the Deaf Child Bill of Rights.

Family Retreat with Hands & Voices
AC will be hosting a weekend retreat for families with deaf and hard of hearing students in May. This segment of the population faces unique issues. There will be literacy activities for the children and workshops for the adults. Bringing the families together to share ideas and develop a support group is at the core of Hands & Voices (www.handsandvoices.org) mission. AC is excited to work with this organization on our first annual event at the camp.

Extreme Sports Camp
ESC hosts overnight summer camps for children with autism and their chaperones at the AC. Since this group is completely self-contained with their own programming and certified instructors, ESC (www.extremesportscamp.org) contracts only accommodations and basic services from AC.
