Come experience the sacred quality and sense of peace that distinguishes Northern New Mexico from anyplace in the world with American Dance Training Camps' ULTIMATE Ski Valley dance camp held at the Columbine Inn in the heart of Taos Mountain's Swiss-style village. Taos is a place of experiences, inner healing, renewal, and of bringing us in touch with our authentic selves - drink deeply from the wisdom that springs from this magical location! The area is perhaps best known for its world class skiing, and is located approximately 70 miles from the city of Santa Fe and 130 miles from Albuquerque in New Mexico, and just 280 miles from Denver, CO.
The Columbine Inn is just a mile and a half from Taos Ski Valley, and provides a quaint alpine mountain setting for ADTC campers & staff with Old World charm and elegantly appointed rooms with wood-burning fireplaces and forest views. Campers are assigned to rooms by age (roommate requests are honored) and either share a standard room (two queen beds), or a Loft (two queen beds or one queen and two twin beds). ADTC staff are housed in rooms right next to campers along our hallways and provides 24/7 supervision and support. We ensure that each camper may have her own bed if desired, though we may require friends who have requested to room together to share a bed if necessary. We operate our Dance Canteen (camp store) daily for basic daily supplies, snacks, dance accessories, and ADTC apparel and souvenirs.
And here are just some of the awesome activities (in addition to dance) that YOU could be doing at American Dance Training Camp in Taos, NM this summer:
Horseback Riding
Hot Air Balloon
Rafting
Hiking
Rock Climbing
Arts & Crafts
Llama Treks
Making Friends!
Come join us for one or both weeks - we hope to see you this summer!
P.S. for Parents: Looking to stay in the area after check-in or the big Friday show?
