Kids Programs
Looking for a program that will build your child's skills throughout the season AND get them out on the slopes weekly for some fun? Or do you prefer a one-time package to give your child a taste of winter sports--and a start on the basics of turning or stopping? Either way, BMBW has an option for you!
The lesson programs and options below are tailored for children of certain ages. If you have a very young child, or a child with special concerns, please feel free to call our SnowSports School at 800-U-SKI-241, ext. 2010, to discuss your situation with them directly. Our SnowSports School will be able to assess your child's readiness for lessons, and we also have instructors who specialize in teaching students with diverse physical, mental, and learning challenges.
The Lesson Programs
Boston Mills/Brandywine offers several different 6-week lesson program options for kids. All three programs offer ski lessons, and Snow Squad members can opt to take snowboarding lessons instead. The deadline to sign up for any of these lesson programs is December 1, 2008. Click any of these links for more information:
Other Lesson Options
Other lesson options vary with the age of the child. Scroll through for more information:
---- Ages 4 & Under
The personalized attention of one-on-one instruction (through a private lesson) or a fun, structured skill-building environment (like the Tiny Tots program) has proven to be the best way for a child age 4 & under to learn on the snow. Because we want everyone to get off to the best start possible, those are the only two options we offer for children in this age group.
You can find a link to Tiny Tots info at the top of this page. Private lessons are $39 for one hour of one-on-one instruction, and can be scheduled via walk-up reservation between open and 2pm on weekdays, 9am-11am on weekends. Children in this age group receive a free snow/lift ticket at BMBW, and the cost for a complete set of ski or snowboard rental for them is $21.
---- Ages 5 thru 7
Children in this age group may join the Mogul Mites program linked above, or they can purchase one or more Private lessons. Private lessons are $39 for one hour of one-on-one instruction, and they can be scheduled via walk-up reservation between open and 2pm on weekdays, 9am-11am on weekends. Lift tickets range from $27 to $35, and a full set of rental equipment for a child of this age costs $21.
Ages 5-7 also have another option: Kids Kamp! This package for ages 5-7 includes an all day beginner area only snow/lift ticket, complete ski package rental, and a one hour ski lesson at 12pm for just $65. Spaces in this weekly one-time lesson option are limited, so check out the details on our Specials page now!

Ages 8-12 can join the Snow Squad program (follow the link at the top of this page for details) and ages 8 & over may take advantage of a few other options:
