(Please note: Information and registration regarding our weekend Padawan and Ewok programs will be available mid March here on the website)
We are in the process of finalising our full-time program for Semester 3 2009 and invite you to consider participation. Open to snowboarders between the school study years of Year 7 – Year 10, we are offering a live in home school family environment based at our Alpine Ridge Camp house at the base of Mt Buller.
The benefit of this program is that athletes can improve there snowboarding skills with more access to time on snow while also obtaining life skills. By living independently in a supervised environment each athlete will be responsible for helping the house run, cleaning duties, assisting with cooking, grocery shopping, while managing there own school studies and other day to day tasks of the house. These challenges along with ongoing snowboard coaching will help the athletes achieve there full potential in all aspects of there lives.
The tentative start date for TSC both full-time and weekends is Sunday 5th July kicking off with the school holidays and with school scheduled to start Monday 13th July and with Wednesday the 15th July being the first day on snow.
TSC Coach, Christine will be the full-time live in carer, and supervisor,during study times answering questions and assisting where she can. If there is a requirement that a tutor be brought in we have the access of teachers in the Mansfield area.
What is included:
Accommodation
24 hour supervision
