Chicopee’s Leadership & Educational Adventure Programs are action packed activities aimed at assisting groups and individuals build strong social, mental, and physical skills, on a 12 month basis. Our trained facilitation staff will develop a program for your group that will have you experiencing new things, reaching new heights, and truly working as a team.

What is L.E.A.P? L.E.A.P is an experiential education facility that is offered at Chicopee during our Green Season (Green refers to anytime that snow is not on the ground – spring, summer and fall months). The programs offered through L.E.A.P are based on building problem solving, decision making, and cooperation skills. These programs involve ele-ments of physical and mental challenges. A visit may include some or all of the following : Ice breaking activities, trust & leadership initiatives, team based field games & coopera-tive activities, low ropes challenge initiatives, mountain biking, rock climbing, high ropes group challenge initiatives, or disc golf.

As all groups & teams are different, each visit to L.E.A.P is programmed to fit your groups needs. It is suggested that a mix of all activity types are used, but programs can be altered to include more or less of the activities that you desire most.

Why Chose L.E.A.P? Experiential education provides limitless opportunities for all types of groups. Whether you have an elementary, or high school group, corporate team, or other club group, L.E.A.P can bring out great benefits. Offered now 12 months of the year, LEAP offers an option to the traditional ski and snowboard visits throughout the winter months.

Curriculum Based : Chicopee’s L.E.A.P program works hard to bring out skills and abilities in today’s school curriculums.

Teamwork & Cooperation focus : The vast majority of Chicopee’s programs work to develop trust, leadership, and cooperative skills. These skills are valuable assets from the classroom to the workplace.

Physical Fitness & Ability : L.E.A.P involves many activities that help to build agil-ity, mobility, flexibility, cardiovascular fitness & strength. No minimal level of fitness is required. Our leadership & adventure programs can provide new forms of physical activity for your group, or serve as a rewarding day away from your daily routine.

Page 11: OUTDOOR PROGRAMS /// 2010 / 2011€¦ · Skiing & Snowboarding: Our hills cater to skiers and snowboarders of all skill lev-els. With 4 beginner, 5 intermediate, and 5 expert slopes,

Seasonal Rental Equipment : Winter Season: Participants in need of rentals will be grouped according to shoe size and taken to the Rental Shop for fitting. We ask that all participants know their shoe/ boot size and are prepared to answer the following ques-tions: age, weight & ability. All rental packages are complete with a helmet – which OSRA mandates that all participants wear. We ask that chaperones and volunteers make them-selves available in the rental shop to assist in marking lift tickets with equipment numbers (please see our Rental Shop staff for instruction day of). We always serve the participants first and ask all chaperones and volunteers to please collect their equipment at the end of the group. All rental equipment must be returned to the rental shop at the conclusion of the scheduled day visit. Poles will be given out after participants have completed their assess-ment/ lesson, (daytime visits = 12pm, ½ Day & Evening visits = will be announced during your greeting). Green Season: Participants in need of rentals will be fitted in the rentals shop by our facilitation staff.

Chicopee Helmet Integration Policy : Here at Chicopee we are committed to the on-going safety of our employees and the general public on a 12-month basis. Chicopee has made the decision to integrate the use of helmets into our operations. One of our goals is to lead by example, not only for the public, but also the industry. Chicopee’s rental shop will carry an inventory of a minimum 500 helmets for rent. Helmets are included with the total rental package price.

Winter Assessment/Lessons : All participants, regardless of age or ability, will be required to go through an ability assessment to determine the applicable terrain that they will have access to. Based on how the instructor classifies the student they will proceed to the appropriate lesson. Our highly acclaimed Snow School Instructors are prepared to teach children the skills needed to reach their full potential in a fun & rewarding environ-ment. All lessons are taught by CSIA or CASI certified instructors. We have two methods of teaching (station and group setting) and the method will be determined by the number of participants/ visitors that day.

Page 12: OUTDOOR PROGRAMS /// 2010 / 2011€¦ · Skiing & Snowboarding: Our hills cater to skiers and snowboarders of all skill lev-els. With 4 beginner, 5 intermediate, and 5 expert slopes,

Winter Day Program – Non-Skier, Beginner & Intermediate Assess-ments/ Lessons : When ever possible, and as determined by the number of visitors, we will use the station method of teaching. The objective of stations is to allow students to progress at their own pace. For those students that may progress at a slower rate, they will remain at the appropriate level and those that exceed will advance to the next level. Numbered stations are set up on the beginner slopes and as the students achieve the re-quired skills, they move on to the next station. A stripe test is available at the last station that allows them, if successful, to advance to other skiable terrain based on their ability. An intermediate/ advanced lesson is then available at a set time to allow for students to try and attain a second stripe for full hill access (with the exception of the terrain parks). The alternative to stations would be our group method which would have participants of simi-lar ability and age to be taught as a group.

Intermediate & Advanced Assessments/ Lessons : Conducted at 11am (Daytime Visits), and as needed for our ½ Day & Evening Visitors

Club Programs : Are available to groups who visit us on multiple occasions with a minimum of 4 visits in the season. Clubs will be assessed each visit and the lessons will continue accordingly. Group teaching may be offered to the evening programs based on ar-rival times, skill level and number of participants. The assessment will take place once the students are on on-snow and then the lessons will take place at either 4pm or 5pm.

Terrain Park Programs : New this year we are offering Terrain Park Programs to high school aged groups. All riders (ski or snowboard) will have to demonstrate advanced level skills before attending a Park specific lesson. The participant will be awarded a day park pass if they prove to be successful in the training provided by our park certified pro-fessionals. Lesson times will vary dependant upon the bookings that day and all Park les-sons must be pre booked at the time of the trip request. Park certified instructors will not be available on a day of request.

Please ensure that your participants are dressing appropriately for the weather: When planning any outdoor activity, you want to ensure that you dress accordingly to stay warm and dry. Please advise participants in the winter months it is recommended they stay away from wearing jeans next to their skin, because it will absorb sweat and snow and tends to make them cold. For that same reason, wool or acrylic socks are better than cotton athletic socks; wear one thin pair. Ski and snowboard boots are de-signed to be warm, thick socks or multiple socks will only cause blisters and be uncomfort-able. Long underwear, waterproof pants or snow pants are recommended. Use layering guidelines—you can always remove clothing if you become too warm. In the green season months, we also recommend dressing appropriately for the weather.

Supervision : Group Coordinators and Supervisor are responsible for the supervision of the students while they are involved in this program at Chicopee. Please direct your ef-forts to making this a valuable learning experience for them. All teachers and chaperones must be identifiable to students by wearing a Chicopee provided vest in compliance with the OPHEA (Ontario Physical and Health Education Association) guidelines, and must ad-here to the helmet regulation.

Lift Tickets : Lift tickets are valid only for the time period you have booked. The Grade 4 & Grade 5 passport lift ticket program cannot be used in conjunction with the School Program.

Ticket Striping : School tickets will be striped as the participant successfully completes their assessment/ lessons. Skill level will be determined only by the Chicopee snow school instructors. No striping will indicate that the participant may ride the Little foot & Bear foot Magic Carpet’s as well as the Tender foot lift. One stripe will gain participant’s access to the North lift. Two stripes will gain full access to the resort, excluding the Terrain Parks. PARK tickets will gain access to all of the available terrain in the area.

Ski Poles : Will be given after the advanced lesson program has finished (12 pm for day trips and varied dependant upon ½ day and evening programs).
