About this Event
Join us for SheJumps Wild Skills Junior Ski Patrol, a day camp at Winter Park Resort on Sunday, March 15th! Girls will learn mountain safety and first aid while working with the strong women of Winter Park Resort Ski Patrol. This event is intended for intermediate to expert skiers/snowboarders ages 8-15.
This SheJumps Wild Skills event is structured as a full-day camp experience. Parents/legal guardians drop off participants for the day, who are then split into teams based on their skier ability. Throughout the day, participants are taught a range of outdoor skills that are utilized by ski patrollers to keep the mountain safe. We will work alongside patrollers and volunteers to learn more about the many facets of mountain safety and first aid.
SheJumps is an inclusive organization. We welcome all women and girls—transgender and cisgender, as well as non-binary people.
Cost: $45. If you are unable to afford the cost of registration, you can apply for a scholarship. Please contact Heidi at [email protected].
Schedule for the Day
On the day of the event, you’ll check in at registration which will be open from 9:00 - 9:30 at Winter Park Resort. 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 up to 8 participants of similar ski ability.
At 9:30 am, 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 may cover topics such as first aid, mountain safety, toboggan use, snowmobile safety, gear caches, weather, and avalanche basics & prevention. Along the way, there will be free skiing, surprises, and games, of course!
