Who's Eligible: Open to Madison & Harding Residents in Grades 5-8. Please do not attempt to register children who do not meet these criteria.

The program will run on four Friday evenings in January and February (if necessary) and takes place at Mount Peter Ski Area in Warwick, NY. Lessons and equipment rentals are offered by Mount Peter, and the program welcomes beginner/novice-level participants. 

Participants are encouraged to rent equipment locally, if possible, as it will save time at the mountain.

Bus transportation will be provided, but that is dependent on chaperones committing to all 4 weeks. Transportation will be canceled in the event of inadequate chaperone coverage.

Chaperone Information

  1. It is vital for the transportation portion of the program that we have an adequate number of volunteer chaperones who can commit to all 4 weeks of the program. If this requirement is not met, transportation will be canceled and participants will be required to provide their own transportation.
  2. Chaperones ski and ride the buses free of charge. A separate Mt. Peter registration link will be provided to chaperones. All children of chaperones ride the bus for free, but will need to register for the skiing portion of the program and pay Mt. Peter for any fees incurred (lift tickets, lessons, rentals, etc.). Chaperones will also need to pay for their equipment rentals if needed. 
  3. The primary duties of chaperones are: providing supervision with regard to safety and behavior, making sure the buses are organized and everyone is accounted for, and facilitating an enjoyable experience for all our participants.
  4. If you wish to chaperone, please return the chaperone form included in the bus registration packet below.

Registration is now sold out.
