|  | With the new tax credit you can give your favorite young person the lifetime gift of skiing or riding for a real deal. Thank you Mr. Prime Minister!
In an effort to promote healthy lifestyles, the Canadian Government has passed new legislation providing a tax credit based on up to $500 for children enrolled in fitness programs. Our 10 Week Snow School Programs, 8 Week Programs, Christmas and New Year 5 Day Programs qualify for this credit each year. The program is only for children 15 years of age and younger. Just include our confirmation/receipt when you file your income tax and you will receive a tax credit for amounts paid up to $500.
Our goal is to introduce more families and friends to the pleasures of skiing and snowboarding. To help facilitate our goal, we have the "Almost Anytime Pass", in addition to our regular season passes.
Our flexible "start anytime" lift tickets are convenient to suit your family’s skiing and snowboarding schedule.
Mount Pakenham is well known for our professional Ski and Snowboard Programs. We offer lessons for every member of your family. Ski lessons begin at 3 years of age and snowboard lessons at age 6. Whether it is group lessons or private lessons, sessions are available for all levels and abilities.
Special Needs Students and ’Inclusion’ in Group Ski and Snowboard Lessons
Although schools now routinely include students with Down syndrome, Asperger’s-Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit (and Hyperactivity) Disorder, and a host of offshoots and variations. As well as students with significant behavioral or emotional problems that occasionally render them disruptive, special needs students do not do well in a group lesson.
Teachers have extra resources that make inclusion a viable option in the classroom. Teachers are made aware of special needs students in their class before the start of school. The special needs department works with teachers to provide extra training, an individualized education plan for each special needs student, and specially trained paraprofessionals to work with the students. Regular ski and snowboard instructors do not have special training to cope with special needs students.
Special needs students who are intellectually capable but physically disadvantaged, intellectually handicapped but physically normal, intellectually and physically normal but emotionally or behaviorally not, or any combination of some of these conditions should book private lessons with a CADS (Canadian Association of Disabled Skiers) certified instructor.
We appreciate your cooperation. Let’s continue to keep our children safe on the hill and provide them with a great learning experience. If you need to switch your child to private lessons, please speak to a reservation agent. |  Download Single Waiver
