As the school year draws to a close, there's so much going on. Here's the complete schedule of events for parents, grandparents, special friends to enjoy. Come witness all that Aardvarks have learned this year!

exact dates & program to be confirmed: From a base camp in Western Colorado, students have a week-long, multi-sport rally: canyoneering in Colorado National Monument, rock climbing in Unaweep Canyon, and paddling on an overnight raft/inflatable kayak trip on the legendary Ruby-Horsethief section of the Colorado River.

The capstone adventure of the Aspen Country Day School journey is a multi-day river trip for students. On the eve of their graduation, they head to the desert for a rafting trip on a classic itinerary on the Green River.

The final school day for students in PreK through Seventh Grade. See you in the fall!

Pausing to take a moment to remember our country and those who have safeguarded it over the years.

An outdoor celebration of the graduates of 2021, with each student speaking about the journey now ending and adventures to come.

Walk and talk! Come join new and old friends, along with Head of School Josh Wolman, for a fun and casual hike. Meet up at the trailhead by the upper lot about 9 am, or see you along the road. Dogs and kids welcome -- in fact, this is a great opportunity for Middle School students

It's always exciting to welcome new parents to Aspen Country Day School. Head of School Josh Wolman hosts a welcome cocktail for the newest members of the community in mid-August. Parents of new students have received an invitation via ParentSquare.

Making the big step up to Middle School? Parents of incoming Sixth Graders are invited to a preview of the year ahead. Teachers will be on hand to describe the program, answer questions, and give a sense of the journey throughout Middle School. RSVP in ParentSquare.

As school begins, everyone is looking forward to meeting new friends. We get a head start with a new family cookout for children and parents! Those invited have received a message to RSVP in ParentSquare.

For new students who want to see where they'll be going on the first day of school, a quick orientation on the Friday before Labor Day is an optional event -- a chance to calm those butterflies of excitement. RSVP in ParentSquare.

Middle School backpacking expeditions begin in the first week of school, and all other grades from Kindergarten up venture out throughout the fall for hiking, climbing, mountain biking, and more. Get outside and enjoy the mountains -- our best classroom! More on all the trips at aspencountryday.org/outdoor
