Experience the SheJumps Wild Skills Junior Ski Patrol day camp at Crystal Mountain on Sunday, April 7th! This full-day camp is designed for young girls who want to learn about mountain safety and first aid from the strong women of the ski patrol community. All girls, including transgender and cisgender individuals, as well as non-binary youth, are welcome to participate in this empowering event.
Parents or legal guardians can drop off participants in the morning, where they will be divided into teams based on their skiing ability. Throughout the day, the girls will learn a variety of outdoor skills used by ski patrollers to ensure mountain safety. They will have the opportunity to work alongside patrollers and volunteers, gaining valuable knowledge about mountain safety and first aid. The day will be filled with engaging activities, surprises, and games.
The event kicks off with registration at 9:30 am in Raven Hall. At 10 am, all teams gather at the Crystal Mountain Ski Patrol headquarters for a morning meeting, where ski patrol basics, a tour of the aid room, and the day's agenda will be covered. Teams will then proceed to different stations scattered across the mountain, covering topics such as first aid, mountain safety, toboggan use, snowmobile safety, gear caches, weather, and avalanche basics & prevention. There will also be plenty of time for free skiing.
Lunch will be provided at Campbell Basin Lodge, thanks to the Crystal Mountain Founders Club. After lunch, all teams will gather for the Avy Dog Demo, where they will learn about the Crystal Mountain avalanche dog program and witness a burial rescue demonstration. The afternoon will conclude with the remaining station visits, free skiing, the opportunity to practice skills, and an informal certificate presentation at 3:30 pm.
This event is intended for intermediate to expert skiers or snowboarders. During the registration process, participants will be asked about their skiing abilities to ensure they are placed in the appropriate team. Lift ticket options are available at checkout, with the base price for the event set at $55.
