Breckenridge, Colorado

Join the Snow Sharks as they spend a refreshing summer week in the resort town of Breckenridge, Colorado. Due to many requests, the Florida Ska Council (FSC) is hosting a summer vacation group trip.

But it's Breckenridge the Town that sets this destination resort apart. The streets of the authentic 19th-century restored mining town bustle with sightseers and shoppers checking out the boutiques (258 at last count) and geographically significant museums, most housed in brightly-colored Victorian buildings. In fact, downtown Breckenridge is Colorado's largest historic district. In the evenings, locals and tourists congregate for happy hour, dinner, and late-night libations in the town's 39 bars and pubs (and 100 restaurants). If you take a day or two off from the summer activities, you won't be bored here.
