EXCURSIONS

CAMP CHRISTMAS

Camp Christmas is a dazzling dreamscape made just for you. It’s an invitation to leave your worries behind and lean in to the joy of the season. It’s an opportunity to remember, reconnect, and recharge. It’s fun, fleeting, and just a little bit weird. It’s everything you love about the holidays all wrapped up into one enchanting experience! Ticket price includes transportation and after Camp snacks.

Ages: All Fee: $25 (ages 2 and under are free) Dates: Dec. 11 (registration closes Nov. 10) Day/time: Sunday, 3–9 p.m. Location: Depart from the MAC at 1:30 p.m.

ADVANCED HIKING

If you’re looking for a hiking opportunity without crowded trails and summits, look no further than Colorado “thirteeners”. This 13er experience offers a nearly identical experience as the state’s 14ers, but with far more solitude, peace and quiet. Mt. Spalding Trail is generally considered a moderately challenging route 2.3 mile out-and-back.

Ages: 16+ Fee: $30 includes transportation, guide, and after hike snacks Time: 4 a.m. departure from the MAC
