Junior Instructor Program
This program is designed for individuals ages 13-15 interested in becoming junior ski instructors or certified ski instructors. It offers comprehensive ski training paired with practical internships within group lessons every weekend over a 10-week Kids Weekend Program.
Program Overview
Participants will enhance their skiing techniques in areas such as carving, moguls, and powder skiing. Additionally, they will receive training in teaching methods and class management skills, which are essential for a successful career as an instructor. Through the internships, participants gain valuable hands-on experience by volunteering during ski lessons, where they practice assisting students, providing demonstrations and explanations, and managing the class environment.
