Kids Ski & Snowboard Camps

What could be better than learning to ski with new friends? Children are placed in groups based on age and ability level. Their time at The Treehouse is spent in lessons to help them gain confidence and skill on the snow. And did we mention fun?!

Additional Information for Treehouse Snowsports Programs

Your child’s actual time on snow may vary depending on weather conditions and your child’s willingness to participate.

Remember that young children have trouble with separation, especially when they are in a new place, surrounded by new people. So please allow time for your child to adjust to the new setting. If you assume your child might have a rough first day adjusting, let them bring a favorite item (stuffed toy or blanket) with them, just please remember to take it with you when you leave.

Please keep out of eye sight of your children throughout the day unless you are accompanying them on the lift. Many lessons are interrupted once a parent stops by to check in on their child. The child might then get upset once the parent(s) leave, so we always ask you watch/ski from afar! You’ll have plenty of time to ski with them after their lessons are over!

If you are more than 15 minutes late for your lesson, you will forfeit your reservation. Once a lesson starts, it is difficult to get children “caught up to speed” while not holding the rest of the group back.

We do not offer refunds for days with inclement weather, if the ski lifts are still able to operate safely, we still teach our lessons.
