Parent Tips and Reminders:

Please visit our Tips for Beginners page.
Skiing is a wonderful sport and must be entered into willingly.
Depending upon the child’s willingness to ski or ride, lessons are 1.5 hours.
Children in the Adventurers Program who do not wish to ski or ride may remain in the CLC or may go along with the class to watch until they are ready to participate.
Children without proper clothing cannot be admitted to on-snow classes.
Before you leave the house, make sure your children have:
- Warm, water repelling jacket and pants
- Waterproof hat and mittens that fit properly
- Neck gaiter and goggles
- Long underwear
- A good night’s sleep
- SICK CHILD POLICY: Parents or guardians leaving children in the care of the Children’s Learning Center should not do so if the child has exhibited any symptoms of illness. Recently ill children must be free from sickness or treated with antibiotics for a minimum of 72 hours before enrolling. If children exhibit any symptoms during care at the Children’s Learning Center they will be sent home and unable to return for a minimum of 72 hours.
