Clearwater Academy’s annual ski trip is not just about skiing, it is an opportunity for our students to experience something new, to become physically competent and understand the value of perseverance. Not to mention the friendships that are made stronger by being part of this group; helping each other succeed on the slopes and being responsible for each other.
Skiing is not just about the fun – Skiing is about becoming more confident and more able. Life Lesson that can be learned from any skiing experience: “When you fall, the only option you have is to get back up and keep going.”
These are lessons from our skiers:
I learned how to snowboard in one day – my friend taught me. I didn’t think I could do it but I did! L.D
I did a jump and “caught air”, I got way better with skiing and spent a lot of quality time with my friends. R.M.
It was really fun, a good group of people. Everyone was happy and we all got better at skiing and I got to know people that I usually don’t hang out with. K.G.
It was my first time skiing in America and it was way better than I thought it would be.
Skiing was a lot of fun and hanging out and playing games with everyone at night was really fun. I can’t wait to go next year. S.G.
Snowboarding was awesome. I had a fun time hanging with my friends. L.S.
