Ski Camp Checklist
 

By Heather Burke

Things to Know Before you send your Child to Ski Camp:

1. Call the ski resort in advance to reserve ski camp.
2. Ask exactly what is included in the price.
3. Reserve ski equipment* if needed.
4. Learn hours of drop off and pick up and be on time.
5. Pack change of clothes, extra hat, mittens, snow boots, etc.
6. Label everything with your child’s name, especially their equipment.
7. Write down important info about your child; allergies, etc..
8. Be prepared to fill out lengthy registration forms at check in, or ask that they be sent or faxed to you in advance.
9. Accurately and honestly describe your child’s ability level to the instructor. Don’t push then into a class they are not ready for.
10. At the end of the session, ask the instructor for your child’s ski report card and ask what they recommend next.

* If you only plan to ski a couple of times this winter, you need not spend $250 outfitting your child with brand new equipment. Most programs offer state of the art rentals for an added fee of $10-$17 and some include it in the lesson price. Your child will have the right size every time, and reduce the amount of gear you must lug around.
