| Telluride Adaptive Sports Program |
TASP enriches the lives of people with disabilities by providing educational and recreational opportunities that develop life skills and encourage personal growth!
TASP Mission
The Telluride Adaptive Sports Program is a non-profit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of people with disabilities by providing educational and recreational opportunities that develop life skills, encourage personal growth, and promote independence. TASP offers adaptive skiing, rafting, kayaking, cycling clinics and other activities that allow students to participate on an equal level with their family and friends in a safe, fun, outdoor environment. These challenging activities catalyze our students’ ability to become more active, productive members of their communities.
About TASP
TASP’s main activities include the adaptive ski program operating daily during the winter at the Telluride Ski Area and a mix of focused summer sports programs. We also conduct clinics and special events including the Expand Your Horizons! Ski Camp-for advanced skiers with disabilities, cycling clinics, Nordic and snowshoe clinics and more. TASP also provides volunteer opportunities, training for staff and volunteers, scholarships for students needing financial assistance and adaptive equipment. This past winter, we initiated a Wounded Warriors project for Troops injured in Iraq and Afghanistan. We plan to expand this project and host three weeklong events for active duty servicemen/women and Vets with disabilities this winter and next summer. Through these activities, our participants develop increased physical awareness, balance and strength as well as an incredible sense of accomplishment. TASP has been growing strategically and methodically, serving an increasing number of students and incrementally expanding activities and resources. |
| Telluride AIDS Benefit |
The Telluride AIDS Benefit ("TAB") is a non-profit grass-roots organization committed to raising awareness in our local communities about the global pandemic of HIV/AIDS. The primary purpose of TAB is to generate financial support for HIV education programs and for client care in Western Colorado via the Western Colorado AIDS Project. TAB also provides funds to the Immunodeficiency Program at Denver Children's Hospital, Brother Jeff's Health Initiative and to the Telluride Project in Manzini, Swaziland. TAB sponsors local education workshops including peer training on HIV/AIDS, STDs, discrimination and safe sex practices for Middle/High School students. |
| Telluride Choral Society |
Our mission is to enrich and expand the cultural musical experience of singers and audiences within the Telluride Region and beyond through performances and musical activities, and to seek higher musical standards through individual growth and education of all participants and improved musical venues. |
| Telluride Council for the Arts and Humanities |
The Telluride Council for the Arts and Humanities, Telluride's oldest arts agency (established since 1971), is well-known for its successful grants-making activities, running the Stronghouse Studios Artists Cooperative, and running the Art Walk on the first Thursday of every month. |
| Telluride Gay Ski Week |
Telluride Gay Ski Week is going to be just a little bit different than other gay ski weeks; the experiences you will have here will be flavored by the ambience of the charming yet upscale Telluride, and the hip more urbane and European-style town of Mountain Village
We offer an unpretentious FUN week including an incredible array of events that will leave you with a smile on your face, new friends that have been made, and ready to return for more!
