Looking for an early season opportunity to brush-up your skills, surrounded by like-minded pros? Ready to be inspired by outstanding leaders and discover new tools and ideas? Combined with Summit Academy and certification/specialist colleges, Eastern Academy gathers over 500 instructors, sponsors and leaders for five days of snowsports, education and camaraderie. Experience the biggest PSIA-AASI event in the East, if not the country!
Participants in the Children’s “Eastern Academy” slide with multidisciplinary (may include alpine, snowboard & telemark) groups led by members of the Eastern Advanced Children’s Education Team for the week. A group’s specific focus will depend on the participant’s goals and typically include:
- How to connect with students of different ages and stages.
- Crafting engaging, playful, exploratory kids’ lessons.
- Practice using technical fundamentals to develop movement analysis skills and improve personal performance.
- Identify skill-building activities to inspire learning and fun.
- Feedback and information that you can use to push your skiing/riding to a new level.
Participants should arrive prepared to be on snow for five days and be able to slide safely on green to groomed black terrain. Depending on trail availability and snow conditions, some groups may elect to venture into ungroomed terrain, including moguls and glades. On Wednesday afternoon, participants break from their group to join an optional session, with topics offered to suit many different goals and interests. Sign-ups for these sessions will be open on Monday and/or Tuesday, during the event.
On-snow activities are complemented by social happenings, including a cocktail and hors d’oeuvres party on Thursday, indoor presentations and more. Whether this is your first year at “Eastern Academy” or you are a seasoned veteran, this is bound to be a week to remember.
