Causes: Children and Youth, Religion
Aspendale has been serving youth and families from the borderland for more than 60 years with the opportunity to experience a little bit of heaven on earth. Nestled at 9000 ft in the Sacramento Mountains, just five miles from Cloudcroft, families and youth have the chance to rest, recharge and challenge themselves away from the hustle and bustle of our busy lives. We serve groups up to 250 people for retreats, camps, and getaways as well as host camps for kids who don’t have the means to attend a camp.
Opportunity Camp— A camp for the youth of El Paso that wouldn’t normally be able to go to camp. This camp focuses on low-income and at-risk youth and gives them the opportunity to attend a weeklong camp at Aspendale where they can experience God, grow in leadership skills, and build friendships that last far beyond the mountain. For many of these campers, this is their first time away from home, their first time in the mountains, and their first encounter with a community that believes in their potential. Thanks to the generosity of donors, Opportunity Camp is offered at little to no cost to families, ensuring that financial hardship never stands between a child and a life-changing week at camp.
Activities for personal and team development include the Odyssey Ropes Challenge Course, Archery, Hatchet Throwing, Climbing Tower and Zip Line, Archery Tag, Sports courts, Hiking, and more!
