Farmington Continuing Education

Join the FPS Ski/Snowboard Club at your school for 5 ski trips after school in January & February to nearby Ski Sundown in New Hartford. Learn the sport of skiing/snowboarding as an active option in the winter months. Skiing/snowboarding teaches perseverance, fosters a sense of confidence, and promotes cardiovascular exercise. This is a great opportunity for new and experienced skiers to learn ski safety on the mountain and valuable fundamental skills through group lessons with a trained instructor. Group lessons for ALL skiers is highly recommended. Students will be transported to/from Ski Sundown by bus immediately following the school day (parent drop off/pick up is not allowed). Ski / Snowboard Club is offered to Farmington Public School students ONLY in Grades 3-8. 

 Please refer to the SKI CLUB INFORMATION BOOKLET for detailed information about Ski Club.

Chaperones (age 18+) are NEEDED! Chaperones are needed either on the mountain or in the lodge. Free ski/snowboard tickets will be available for chaperones based on the number of participants.
