SOUTH SUMMIT ELEMENTARY – Learn to Ski/Snowboard Mondays 2023

This is a program specifically for South Summit Elementary School (1st-5th graders) and is for complete beginners. If you did this program last year, please consider signing up for the beginner/intermediate program at Woodward.

The Get Out & Play Alpine Skiing/Snowboarding program gives kids the opportunity to begin skiing and snowboarding alongside their peers. The program is based on the unique partnerships we have built with our local resorts and utilizes their talented ski instructors.

The program begins immediately after school with students gearing up with the help of parent volunteers. Students then board a bus for transport to the ski hill where they will have a 2 hour ski or snowboard lesson with their instructor. Once the lesson is completed, students are driven back to school where parents can pick them up.

The entire program is parent supported and chaperoned, so please do your best to assist! To make this program happen affordably, we need parent volunteers. Volunteers for Lead School Coordinator will receive a sizable discount on one (1) child’s registration. Other volunteer positions include Bus Chaperones. To volunteer please contact Heather Sims 831.254.6011 or heather@ywsa.org.
