¾«¶«´«Ã½ East Afterschool Programs (KEAP) is excited to be partnering with SheJumps to offer a Junior Ski Patrol event at Jay Peak on Sunday, March 23rd from 9am - 4pm! This SheJumps Wild Skills event is structured as a full-day camp experience intended for girls in grades 3rd-8th grade who are intermediate to expert skiers and snowboarders. Event Registration includes lift tickets, lunch and snacks. This event is free to students in the ¾«¶«´«Ã½ East School District, when you register with the code. Registration will cost $40 for non ¾«¶«´«Ã½ East Students, although scholarships are available.

Program Summary:

SheJumps' Junior Ski Patrol seeks to mentor young girls in mountain safety and first aid while working with the strong women of the ski patrol community. At the Jay Peak Resort event, girls will be introduced to ski patrol through workshops on first aid, weather, toboggans, etc. This event will encourage girls to learn new skills, take on challenges and think creatively which develops perseverance and fosters confidence.

Our goal is to see girls learning, having fun and connecting in an encouraging environment with amazing instruction and support from female mentors. We want Wild Skills to be an experience they will remember, one that will spark a lifetime of passion for the outdoors and will remind them that they are capable of anything.

Skier/Boarder Ability Level:

This event is intended for intermediate to expert skiers & snowboarders. As part of the registration process, you will be asked a variety of questions about how confident the skier/rider is on particular runs at Jay Peak to help us determine which team they are best suited for.

Cost:

This event is free for ¾«¶«´«Ã½ East School District students. This event costs $40 for non-¾«¶«´«Ã½ East Students, although scholarships are available. All participants that don't have a season pass can be given a lift ticket for the day. Please note that preregistration is required as space is limited!

Schedule for the Day:

On the day of the event, you’ll check in at registration which will be open from 8:45am -9:15am. Participants can park in the Stateside Parking Lot. If it's full for some reason, you can park at Tramside and take the shuttle over to Stateside. We will meet up for the day on the top floor of the Stateside Lodge (same level as the Bullwheel bar): we'll have some tables reserved at the back/far end of the room, overlooking the parking lot.

At registration you will meet up with your team for the day. The teams will consist of 1 ski patroller, 2-3 SheJumps volunteers, and 8 participants of similar ski ability.

At 9:30am we will start the day with an all teams morning meeting covering ski patrol basics, weather, and our agenda for the day.

From there teams will break out and proceed to their various stations throughout the mountain. Stations cover topics including first aid, mountain safety, toboggan use. Along the way there is free skiing, surprises and games, of course!

The afternoon will continue with an additional station and free ski.
