The Speakeasy Theater is now The Eclipse Theater This past fall Breck Film took over the Speakeasy Theater lease and renamed it The Eclipse Theater as a homage to our town’s first movie theater once located on Main Street in the early 1900’s. The Eclipse Theater reopened as the new permanent home of Breck Film for screenings and events as well as current blockbuster, indie, classic, foreign, and outdoor films year-round. The 155-person theater has also improved on their offering with soda, popcorn, snacks and locally produced beverages from Broken Compass Brewing and Carboy Winery. The theater is currently open Wednesday-Monday, CLOSED on Tuesday. Check their website to see the lineup and head to 103 S. Harris Street, Breckenridge. www.breckfilm.org/the-eclipse
Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center (BOEC) Unveils Full Schedule of Camps and Retreats for Injured Veterans and Their Families The BOEC’s Heroic Military Program is for men and women who serve our country and are now faced with the challenge of accepting and living with a disability. Open to veterans, active-duty military, and members of the Guard and Reserve, BOEC’s Heroic Military Program returns this summer with multiple courses and retreats for those who have been injured while serving our country and are faced with new challenges associated with recovery. Because family members are critical to the healing process, they are also welcome to participate in many of these custom programs including the Ruby/Horsethief & Westwater Heroic Families River Trip (July 25-30), two Heroic Women’s Military Colorado River Trips (August 15-20; September 12-17), and a collaboration with Craig Hospital’s Operation TBI Freedom on June 25 in Colorado Springs. Funded by The Department of Veterans Affairs Adaptive Sports Grant and several generous foundations and
individual donors, BOEC’s year-round Heroic Military Program is offered at low or no cost to active military members from all over the United States and features several mountain retreats, river trips, pieces of training and camps that feature exhilarating activities, the highest quality instruction and equipment, and some of the most beautiful and exciting venues in the Rocky Mountain West. “These events are a unique and wonderful way for veterans to reconnect with themselves, other veterans, and their families,” said BOEC Marketing Manager, Barry Rubenstein. “Sometimes these individuals have a hard time assimilating back to ‘normal’ life after their service is over and living with an injury. These trips offer a therapeutic outlet for veterans and their families to harness the power of the great outdoors in their recovery process.” Another example of our incredible community’s commitment to kindness. www.boec.org
