Department Vision & Philosophy
Vision
To preserve, enhance and provide access to our recreational facilities, parks, open space and trails.
Philosophy
Scenic views of the natural environment are one of the community’s greatest assets and the reason many people choose to visit or make the Aspen area their home. Maintaining and improving easy access to public lands throughout the UGB is equally important.
The City and County have made great strides in the acquisition of open space during the last 40 years. The further acquisition of open space parcels should focus on wildlife habitat, the protection of scenic resources, trail connectivity and recreational uses.
The City and County have dramatically expanded the regional trails network in recent decades. Further trail development should focus on connections between existing trails to further improve this outstanding network for the purpose of supporting an outdoor lifestyle, easy access to outlying public lands and to provide increased opportunities for the use of trails by commuters in both summer and winter.
The City’s recreation programs and facilities have become a valuable asset for year-round residents as well as building on the community’s reputation as a center for high quality recreation. These programs and facilities must be constantly reassessed and revitalized in order to maintain one of the most valued features of the Aspen area.

Child / Staff Ratio
As accordance to the Colorado State Dept. of Health & Human Services our camp can accommodate 110 children daily. A ratio of 1:9 will be kept when only one counselor is on staff. Once the 10th child shows up, a second counselor must be on duty. Once 2 counselors are on site a 1:15 ratio is required. However, many times our day camp has a 1:10 ratio. The day camp director is responsible for planning staff ratios. All staff members counted in the ratio hold a current First Aid/CPR Certification.
Injured Children
All camp staff are trained in first aid and CPR. If your child becomes ill or injured during camp hours, you will be asked to come pick them up. Injury reports will be reported immediately.
If, at any time throughout the year, your child develops a medical condition, please notify us so that we can be aware of the situation.

Inclement Weather Policy & Procedure

If the weather becomes inclement while we are on site, we will go to the nearest park shelter and go back to camp locations.
Lost Child Procedure
The City of Aspen Day Camp staff ensures the safety of your child at all times. Each day and for each activity counselors will take roll call. In the event of a missing or lost child, counselors will stay at the site until the child is found. Parents will be notified if the child is missing for more than 15 minutes.
Policy for Reporting Child Abuse
As required by Colorado State Department of Social Services, staff are required to read and sign a statement defining child abuse and neglect pursuant to state law and outlining the staff member’s personal responsibility to report all incidents of child abuse or neglect according to state law. If abuse or neglect is suspected, it must immediately be reported to Pitkin County Social Services or law enforcement agency.
Discipline Policies & Procedures
Discipline is the guidance, encouragement and support that we use to influence children as they learn and grow.
Our staff is trained to handle situations that may arise at camp. In order to provide our campers with a safe, supervised environment, we must adhere to certain guidelines and expectations for appropriate behavior. The framework for these guidelines will foster responsibility, self-discipline, growth and judgment within our campers. Behavioral issues that persist will be handled through a system of communication that includes children, their parents or guardians and a supervising staff member called the Better Behavior Plan. We encourage parents or guardians to communicate with counselors as often as possible regarding concerns, to ask questions or simply to inquire about their child’s day.
If a child fails to adhere to the safety measures put into place at camp it may be required that a parent come pick up the child to ensure safety of the group. The child may return to camp once the situation has been discussed with a supervising staff member, parent and child. If the child reaches three infractions requiring a better behavior form further action will be taken as deemed appropriate by the director.

Scenic views of the natural environment are one of the community’s greatest assets and the reason many people choose to visit or make the Aspen area their home. Maintaining and improving easy access to public lands throughout the UGB is equally important.
The City and County have made great strides in the acquisition of open space during the last 40 years. The further acquisition of open space parcels should focus on wildlife habitat, the protection of scenic resources, trail connectivity and recreational uses.
The City and County have dramatically expanded the regional trails network in recent decades. Further trail development should focus on connections between existing trails to further improve this outstanding network for the purpose of supporting an outdoor lifestyle, easy access to outlying public lands and to provide increased opportunities for the use of trails by commuters in both summer and winter.
The City’s recreation programs and facilities have become a valuable asset for year-round residents as well as building on the community’s reputation as a center for high quality recreation. These programs and facilities must be constantly reassessed and revitalized in order to maintain one of the most valued features of the Aspen area.

About Parks & Open Space Division
It is the vision of the Parks and Open Space Division to preserve, enhance and provide access to our recreational facilities, parks, open space and trails.
Scenic views of the natural environment are one of the community’s greatest assets and the reason many people choose to visit or make the Aspen area their home. Maintaining and improving easy access to public lands throughout the UGB is equally important.
The City and County have made great strides in the acquisition of open space during the last 40 years. The further acquisition of open space parcels should focus on wildlife habitat, the protection of scenic resources, trail connectivity and recreational uses.
The City and County have dramatically expanded the regional trails network in recent decades. Further trail development should focus on connections between existing trails to further improve this outstanding network for the purpose of supporting an outdoor lifestyle, easy access to outlying public lands and to provide increased opportunities for the use of trails by commuters in both summer and winter.
Use of Parks & City Owned Facilities for Special Events
Staff's highest priority is to ensure that the general public has substantial access to park an public facilities.
The calendar of events for Parks and City Owned Facilities includes certain blackout dates (June 23rd - 1st week of August) each year. These dates were chosen for the blackout period because they are the busiest occupancy time for Aspen, and there are currently historical events on the calendar that use the parks during this time. Due to existing heavy use during this time, staff feels that additional use should be limited so that the parks can be used for general public enjoyment. If a user group highly desires to host a special event during the blackout period, staff has the option to approve the event at double the cost, provided the event does not negatively impact park health.
Major holidays are non-negotiable blackout dates as well since the town is already at maximum capacity on these dates and cannot absorb further use. In addition, all holidays will be event free except for the 4th of July.
All current park special events and long standing community events (Ducky Derby, Motherlode...etc.) are grandfathered in, however, staff retains the right to rotate parks as they see fit.
Parks staff has the authority to give priority status to short term (defined as lasting two days of less, including setup/breakdown), local events in regards to determining scheduling and location within facilities and parks.
Priority will also be given to community events involving locals gathering together in enjoyment of the parks as opposed to corporate sponsored events. Events that are good for the community, or have a community benefit, or a community health impact would also receive higher priority.
Local low impact events for non-profit groups will not be charged any parks use permit fees (park rental fees) unless they request exclusive use of the park.
Staff is in charge of determining which events best meet the public's needs, which parks work best for an event, and how to best protect the sustainability of each park.
Anytime a park is impacted for more than four days, City Council approval is required.
Special Event Parking Space Rentals
The following parameters outline the Parks Department's policies on renting parking places in front of stores for event purposes:
Parking is open except for holiday blackout dates.
Blackout dates include all dates through Labor Day weekend (so the option to reserve spaces would only be available after Labor Day) and all holidays.
Reserving parking spaces for events is not an option to for restaurants.
For a store to rent a parking space for an event, either a front door or window must face the requested parking spaces.
No food or alcohol is allowed outside (in the parking spaces).
Available space is limited to 2 adjacent parking spaces.
Events cannot last more than 3 hours. Weekdays and evenings are preferred.
All outside displays must be a sampling of what the store sells and contain full merchandise displays or racks.
Open Space Rental Policy for Special Events
Open space properties such as Cozy Point and Marolt Open Space are considered separately from parks and other city-owned facilities in regards to hosting special events.
Future management plans currently under development for open spaces such as Cozy Point will address special event use in more detail in that management plan.
All special event requests related to open spaces would require the review and approval of Staff, the special event committee, the City of Aspen Open Space & Trails Board (OSTB) and Aspen Valley Land Trust (AVLT) when appropriate.
