Kids Learn To Ski/Snowboard At YMCA Weekend Camps

Children experience winter in a whole new way during our weekend YMCA Camps filled with instructional skiing, snowboarding, and tubing!

Mountain High has partnered with YMCA Camp E.L.K. to offer affordable weekend camps with instructional skiing, snowboarding, and tubing activities. For nine weekends this winter kids can choose from either two days of skiing and snowboarding or one day of skiing and snowboarding and one day of tubing.  All weekend camps include food, nightly entertainment, lodging for Friday & Saturday, and transportation to and from Mountain High.  While on the mountain, children will learn the fundamentals of skiing and snowboarding and be monitored by one instructor and one YMCA chaperone for every 10 children.  Reservations must be made at least two weeks in advance.
