Waterville Valley JETS Program
“Junior Enrichment Through Sports”
Waterville Valley JETS began in 1993 as a way to bring winter snowsports fun and learning to local school kids. This program is offered through the Plymouth Parks and Recreation Department. JETS is dedicated to encouraging area youths to participate in alpine skiing and snowboarding at an affordable price. It is open to kids in grades 1 through 8 attending SAU#48 schools in Campton, Thornton, Holderness, Plymouth, Wentworth, Rumney, Ashland or Waterville Valley. The goal of the program is to provide strong fundamental snowsports skills in a safe environment while having fun in winter. It provides all day supervision as well as the opportunity for improvement with coaches from the Waterville Valley Snowsports Department.
This program has been very successful with many of its participants graduating to more advanced skiing, racing, snowboarding, and even ski teaching, thanks to the support of Waterville Valley Resort.
JETS runs on weekends (Saturday & Sunday) from January 4th to March 28th. It also includes skiing/riding on weekdays during the NH school vacation break. Parent involvement and participation is encouraged. Adult chaperones receive a ski pass on each day they chaperone with the JETS.
