Skyline Adventures needs volunteers to come up to the mountain at Bluewood and help kids and teens from Ochoa Middle School and Danner Farms: getting warm outer clothing on, latching boots, and off to their lessons. After the lessons and lunch, we need the volunteers to free-ski or snowboard with the kids until 2:30 pm. Then we need extra hands to hang up all of the used gear. Afterwards, you can ski all you want until Bluewood closes.
Ochoa Middle School in Pasco, Washington, serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
Danner Farms is a non-profit that provides mentoring to at-risk youth

Details: arrive at the Skyline lodge at 8:30am. We will give you a free lift ticket. Around 9am the kids arrive and we get them outfitted in snow gear and help them pick up their rental equipment. Once ready to go, we help the kids get to their lesson that Bluewood provides. For lunch, everyone gets a lunch ticket and goes into the main lodge to grab their meal. After lunch, the kids get to free ski until 2:30pm. We like to make sure there is a volunteer with the kids in case they need help getting up after a fall and to make sure they don't go down any black diamond routes.
There will be a seasoned volunteer up on the mountain as well so just bring yourself, your gear, and we will show you the rest. -If you don't have skis or a snowboard let us know and we can arrange those for you at no charge.
