Kids Seasonal Programs
Mini Runners & River Runners
Our Kids Seasonal Programs are for kids ages 3 to 12 who are able to ski or ride independently. Mini Runners are ages 3 to 5 and meet for morning sessions only. (We do accept children into the Mini Runners program who are unable to ski independently). River Runners are ages 5 to 12 and meet for morning and afternoon sessions.
Kids are grouped by age as well as ability, and will remain with the same group and coaching staff throughout the season. These are recreational, non-competitive programs with an emphasis on fun, safety and friendship. All programs are based on building self-confidence and developing all-around skiing and riding skills. Many of our graduates go on to be top performers in the Gould/Sunday River Racing, Freestyle and Snowboard programs.
With these programs, the fun doesn't stop when the lifts close. Throughout the season a number of special events are planned. From Christmas parties to scavenger hunts to pizza nights, these kids have a fun filled schedule. It's what being a kid and loving winter is all about.
All programs meet in the River House, located slopeside adjacent to the South Ridge Base Lodge, and run 9am to 2pm on Saturdays and holiday weeks and 9am to 12am on Sundays. Program runs from Mid December, 2008 to end of March, 2009. Lunch is included for River Runners only. A detailed program schedule will be provided prior to the start of the season.
