| MINI BEAR ADVENTURE CAMP | ||
Our Mini Bears asked for an adventure camp program all their own and they got it! Tailored to meet a Mini Bear’s definition of adventure, this program is all about being outside in the winter and having fun. The Mini Bear Adventure Camp starts with a morning of skiing just like a regular Mini Bear day; however, rather than going back out skiing in the afternoon, these campers take off on snowshoes for an afternoon of hiking, building snow forts and shelters, scavenger hunts, tree identification, animal tracking, letter boxing and more. This is a great alternative for any Mini Bear that needs a break from skiing or whose sense of adventure goes beyond the ski trail. Afternoon activities are weather dependent.

| Unsure what to do with your little adventurer during the vacation weeks? Our Ski & Ride coaches will guide and instruct all over the mountain, on topics like steeps, bumps, air, trees and safety in some of Sugarbush's wildest terrain, including the famous Slidebrook Basin. In addition to skiing and riding skills, our coaches will instruct on such things as group management, picking lines, decision making, snow and environment conditions assessment, backcountry survival and rescue techniques. Skiers and riders should be comfortable on Blue and above, and comfortable with beginning instruction on backcountry/advanced skills. Groups will be formed each day based on ability, age and individual goals.

| JUNIOR FREESTYLERS’ CAMP | ||
| Backcountry riding not your thing? Prefer jibbing and pulling threes to skinning and skiing the trees? The Jr. Freestyle Camp is the answer. Freestylers will focus on switch riding, carving, basic rails and straight airs before progressing onto grabs, spins, big airs and linking maneuvers. From the park and pipe, Freestylers will take their new skills out on the rest of the mountain to learn how to integrate them into an all mountain freeride style. All the while, our freestyle coaches will focus on safety, etiquette, appropriate equipment and decision-making. Skiers and Riders are both welcome in this progressive camp taught by USSA and USASA licensed Freestyle Coaches. Freestylers must be intermediate to expert skiers or riders willing to be coached in freestyle maneuvers.
