Philosophy
Philosophy
Secondary ski club travels to Hidden Valley and is structured differently than the elementary program. Students ride the bus to and from Seven Springs (exceptions are made for parents who ski with their students or have to leave early for club sporting events, travel, etc.). Students are on their own to ski and eat dinner. There is no check in with the chaperones until reporting to the bus at 9:15. All students are supplied with the Ski Club phone number that rings to the chaperones' phones. We have found this formula works, providing students to build self reliance and personal responsibility while being a phone call away from chaperone assistance.
