Tips:

  • Prepare your child(ren) - if this is your first visit to Kids Kampus, remember that dropping your child off in an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar people can be hard, preparing your child(ren) along with a good breakfast and early arrival can help.
  • Check ski/snowboard gear before arriving (especially if you are borrowing a friend's) make sure it fits and is safe
  • Ski socks are a must - ski boots are plastic and cold – cotton socks can be unsafe for young children (they sell these in the ski shop if you don't have any)
  • Helmets are required for ages 12 and under – don't worry they rent these if you don't have one. (All rental packages include helmets)
  • Keep your child warm and wind/waterproof, make sure they have eyewear (goggles), sunscreen, lip protection, and a neck warmer and label all belongings.
  • Allow plenty of time for paperwork and check-in.
