We’re currently accepting applications for the 2023 / 24 Season!
This program is a 6-week commitment with 2 hours dedicated to shadowing lessons (learning to teach alongside a qualified instructor).
Throughout the program you will shadow and assist qualified instructors during lessons to gain knowledge and experience that will enrich your personal development as an instructor.
2 hours of on-snow training will be held evenings from 5pm-7pm. Training focuses on improving skiing or riding technique to meet the Canadian Ski Instructor’s Alliance (CSIA) and Canadian Association of Snowboard Instructor’s (CASI) Level 1 standards.
Program participants will have the opportunity to complete their required volunteer hours working with our group and multi-week programs on weekends.
