CHAPERONES
Parent chaperones are a critical part of making the club a success. Bus chaperones load and unload buses and take attendance. Driver chaperones need to be available to take kids to a hospital/doctor/home early in case of injury. Chaperones may ski, but the Club no longer receives any complimentary tickets. The Club will reimburse you for your ticket (night tickets are $79). Please consider being a parent chaperone for one or more of the trips.

Thank you!
