Activities

Here's just a small sampling of the activities we offer at Active Aspen.

Little mountain learners

Little Mountain Learners is our development-focused activity block designed to help children learn through play, movement, and curiosity. We blend early literacy, problem-solving games, sensory exploration, and nature-inspired activities to support cognitive, emotional, and physical growth. Each session is tailored to a child’s age and interests, giving them a fun, confidence-building way to explore the world—both indoors and in the mountains.

Skills and sports

We introduce kids to active, hands-on play that builds coordination, confidence, and a love of movement. From ball games and mini skill challenges to agility courses and beginner-friendly outdoor sports, we keep activities fun, inclusive, and age-appropriate. Whether indoors or outside, children stay active while developing teamwork, balance, and motor skills in a supportive, playful environment.

Biking

Our Biking sessions help kids build confidence on two wheels—whether they’re just learning to ride or ready to expand their skills. We start with balance, braking, steering, and safe riding fundamentals, then progress to gentle trails, obstacle courses, and terrain that encourages growth at each child’s pace. With patient guidance and a fun, supportive approach, we help young riders develop coordination, independence, and a lifelong love for biking in the mountains.

Hiking

At Active Aspen, hiking with kids is one of our favorite ways to help families connect with both nature and each other. We design family-friendly hikes around Aspen—including easy trails around town and nearby scenic routes that are perfect for little legs. Our outings balance adventure, learning, and fun, with manageable distances, engaging natural features, and plenty of time to explore at a comfortable pace. We prioritize safety, stewardship, and respect for the land. Our goal is to create a confidence-building experience where kids feel strong and capable, and families can relax and enjoy the beauty of the mountains together.
