| Phoenix Outdoor is an Aspen Education Group program. Thomas J. Croke, Educational Consultant, has denounced Aspen Education Group for putting profits over the safety and care of children in Aspen programs. | ||
| HEAL has reviewed multiple Aspen Education Group contracts that appear to be illusory, unconscionable, void/voidable, and arguably illegal. We are in the process of reviewing the enrollment materials for Phoenix Outdoor. In the meantime, please see the reviews for Adirondack Leadership Expeditions, Aspen Achievement Academy, Aspen Ranch, Aspen Institute of Behavioral Assessment, and New Leaf Academy. It is our suggestion that families avoid doing business with Aspen Education Group and/or their individual programs. | ||
