1978: Art Center, Bathhouse, Nature Center Added
At last! A separate bathhouse was built so we didn’t have to brave the elements between the cabins and the Main Lodge any more. The new art center and nature center allowed us to improve our guest experience.
1975: New Cabin & Pottery Studio
The two-story cabin was built along with a sparkling new pottery studio, kiln and all!
1974: Cabins Added
Hurray! We got cabins so now lodging was separate from the Main Lodge at this time. But there were no bathrooms in there so we still had to go back and forth to the main lodge.
1972: Name Changed
The name was changed to Aspen Camp School for the Deaf to indicate the programs we had at the time.
1971: Main Lodge Built
The Main Lodge was built on campus. We still are not 100% sure but either the building was relocated from an old grocery store or a barn. At this time, the main lodge was the only building on campus and where everything was done from lodging, meals, activities, and office work.
