SheJumps | WILD SKILLS Junior Ski Patrol | MA

Join us for Junior Ski Patrol, a day camp at Bosquet Mountain on January 24. Girls will learn mountain safety and first aid while working with the strong women of the Bosquet and Western MA Region Ski Patrol. This event is intended for intermediate to expert skiers/snowboarders ages 8-13. We welcome all girls- transgender and cisgender, as well as non-binary youth to participate in this event.

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.

Skier/Boarder Ability Level: This event is intended for intermediate to expert skiers & snowboarders. As part of the registration process, you will be asked a variety of questions about how confident the participant is on particular runs at Bosquet Resort to help us determine which group they are best suited for.
