Day Care and Camps for Children

The Aspen Center for Physics is committed to helping participants bring their families with them to Aspen in the summer. We are fortunate in that daycare in the Aspen area is unusually plentiful, diverse, and available on short notice or on a drop-in basis. In fact, many participants have found that it is not even necessary to make prior arrangements before arriving in Aspen. However, other participants may feel uncomfortable without having made prior arrangements for at least the first week. Since daycare facilities change often, we suggest you Google current facilities. Some information on visiting Aspen with a child aged 18 months or younger is also available. There are also many activities for children. In addition, by early May, a list of all summer participants indicating whether anyone in their family is interested in providing babysitting or their need for babysitters will be made available. We hope that this will allow families to contact one another about arranging babysitting and daycare.
