HER Film Camp

A film camp for middle school, high school girls, and gender non-conforming youth!

HER Film Camp offers girls and gender non-conforming youth an opportunity to learn the art of storytelling through film production. Over the course of two weeks in the Fall of 2020, campers will develop, write, shoot, edit, and premiere an original short film showcasing an all-female production team. Campers are encouraged to explore their talents, be bold and brave and understand their potential impact. It’s her time to shine, it’s #HERFilmCamp.

Girl PowHER

Our mission is to empower young women mentally, emotionally and physically to promote school and community engagement ensuring each girl reaches her full potential.

For 2020, the girls will have fall outdoor adventure experiences such as hiking, archery, GPS scavenger hunts, and trail building. They will find empowerment by empowering others through service to their schools, local communities, and their families. They will be able to talk through and discuss any topics that they bring up in a safe and accepting place. They will also have adult community mentors they can turn to as positive role models.

Afterschool Programs start Monday September 28th!

The CLUB

Community Lifting Up Boys (CLUB)

Our mission is to engage, inspire and empower the young men of Eagle County through dynamic community-based programming, encouraging them to reach their greatest potential.

The CLUB’s 2020-21 programming includes a lot of out of class experiences such as Hiking, Biking, Archery, and exploration. Students will discover the value of belonging. By belonging, our boys will be able to be an advocate in decision making. We want our boys to know that big dreams do exist and can be accomplished with the help and support of our community.

Celebrate the Beat

BEGINNING SEPTEMBER 14

Celebrate The Beat (CTB) provides the highest quality dance program for all children that improves their physical health and well being, inspires them to believe in themselves and establishes a standard of excellence that impacts all aspects of their lives. CTB was founded by Tracy Straus in the belief that the arts have a unique power to engage children and motivate them toward excellence and is the Colorado associate of National Dance Institute.

This year, due to COVID-19, Celebrate the Beat, as an organization made the decision to be 100% virtual. Even though we will miss the hands-on experience with our students, we are excited about the possibility of bringing our programming to the entire Eagle County School District, as this has been a goal of Celebrate The Beat for some time. This fall, our programming will be available to all children, Pre-K through 8^th grade.

Please connect with your school’s Principal to learn more, or contact Kris Ashley, kris@ctbeat.org directly to see how your child can have access to our in-school and after-school programs whether at school or remote learning.
