Ski and Snowboarding - Grades 2-5

This program is currently unavailable. Click here to view all of our current programs.



Join us as we travel to Nashoba Valley Ski Area this winter on half day Wednesdays. This program is designed for beginner and intermediate skiers. You have the choice of just skiing or choosing to have your student participate in a one-hour lesson (6 total lessons). Lessons typically begin an hour after we arrive. This means that if your child is new to the sport, they may wait before their first lesson. As they develop their skills, and confidence, they can then use the time before their lesson to ski the bunny hills and easy trails. Chaperone's provide supervision and additional support as needed. Chaperone's are not Ski instructors but are helpful volunteers who take attendance, load and unload the buses,  help participants put on ski equipment (as needed) and direct students to the lesson area. 

*Please note that this years lessons are only for beginner and intermediate skiers.  NO Snowboard lessons are offered on Wednesday. Lift ticket, transportation and supervision are included in the cost.

A weekly email blast will be sent through myrec about important info regarding weather, waivers, and what to expect. If you don't receive an email a week before the event, reach out and we will make sure you are on the list!
