Canyon Ski Area’s school and group programs are designed to incorporate and emphasize snow safety and the importance of
outdoor recreational activities as a part of a healthy balanced life. We feel that every child and adult should have an
opportunity to participate in skiing and snowboarding. To help facilitate this, Canyon makes every effort to offer a cost
effective group package (lift, lesson, and rental). Our group programs are for individual’s aged 6 years and older.
Skiing and snowboarding fits into the Alberta School Curriculum for Physical Education under the General Outcomes of activity,
health benefits, cooperation, and daily activity. Our lesson programs place special emphasis on safety. Our instructional
programs have been designed with curriculums in mind, and can be easily linked with mathematics, social studies, science,
language learning, and health components. In addition, Canyon offers lesson plans and would be pleased to help aid in organizing,
planning, and creating an educational and enjoyable trip to our area. |
