Kid's Activities

Winter at The Treehouse

Below is information directly from the Wintergreen Resort website at www.WintergreenResort.com   All of my clients have been very impressed with the Treehouse program.  Their kids beg to go back the next day.  They really can introduce your child to skiing, starting at age 3.

The Treehouse is headquarters for our nationally acclaimed children's programs for guests ages 2½-12. Our counselors are "fun experts" and know how to keep everyone active and happy - all while learning new skills combining "safety first" supervised activities with on-the-snow skiing adventure.

Snow Play (Age 3)
Children will spend one hour in the morning and a second hour in the afternoon playing boot games in the snow, learning the parts of a ski and getting comfortable on skis. All first time three year olds will begin in the Snow Play program. Children showing proficient ski skills may advance to Mogul Monkeys.

Mogul Monkeys (Ages 4 - 12)
Ski lessons AND indoor camp activities! A great way to spend the day with new friends who have the same skiing ability. Full day program includes lift access, up to four hours of ski lesson time, ski equipment, lunch, snacks, hot chocolate and parent/child ski time (time permitting).

Kids in Action (Ages 2½ - 12)
Spend an exciting day in the Treehouse enjoying arts and crafts, cooking, group games, music and stories.

Ski Buddy (Ages 6 and older)
Allow Wintergreen to provide a companion for your youngster who already knows how to ski, stop and turn and use the chairlift.

Rate: $62 for a 2 hour session.

Mountain Mornings (Ages 3-6)
