Like a snowflake, no two Double H winter students are alike!

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Our 13th season of the Adaptive Winter Sports Program is in full swing. We have had three great weekends on the slopes including one fun filled Wild West themed Family Sleepover Weekend! As we continue to reach our goal of doubling our capacity, from just three years ago, we are even more committed to giving our winter sports enthusiasts the gift of snow. 

 

Like a snowflake, no two Double H winter students are alike. Students are offered Alpine and Nordic skiing instruction, as well as snowboarding and snowshoeing lessons. From January through April the Double H Ranch hosts the only privatized Adaptive Winter Sports Program in the northeast, solely available to children and families with special needs, not open to the public and FREE-of-charge. Our winter program is aimed at not only teaching children a life-long skill, but also to provide an experience that can be enjoyed by the entire family.

 

It truly is a one-of-a-kind opportunity! But you don’t have to take our word for it –

 

“Everyone was so patient and kind and made the whole ski experience so much fun.  It was so thrilling to watch Christopher progress each session. It was also amazing to see how each of the instructors added to the previous lesson. Christopher went from not being able to ski to skiing on his own by the 3rd day. That was the highlight of our whole weekend.  It makes me cry every time I think of it.” – Parent of a Winter Sports Enthusiast

 

You can help make a difference this season by sponsoring a Winter Sports Enthusiast. Sponsorship opportunities range from $50 for a day to $600 for the whole season. Give a child the gift of snow this year and help create memories that will last a lifetime!
