Base camp is where Aspiro life begins.  When a new student is admitted into Aspiro, they are treated with respect similar to a transfer from one high school to another.  Aspiro does not operate on level systems and makes no attempt to "break down" students. 

With 10,000-ft. mountains as a backdrop  the Aspiro Adventure Base Camp is the perfect setting for students to return home to after each expedition. While students are in base camp, they engage in a variety of activities that may include:

• eating Dutch oven meals

• participating in base camp school

• completing school assignments

• re-supplying for next weeks expeditions

• participating in therapy sessions

• interacting in group sessions

• participating in performance reviews (treatment team)

• receiving health and hygiene checks

Out of all the activities in base camp, students report that their favorite activities are eating home-cooked meals and getting mail from their families.

The Aspiro Adventure Base Camp is home to deer, elk, moose, golden eagles and many other wildlife.
