Kids Programme Centre (5-14 Years)

Full-day lessons with lunch, care and activities.

The Kids Programme Centre is located at the very front of the base facilities, beside the “archway”. Same as the Kids Club, the focus is on going skiing morning and afternoon with fun instructors and spending the times between refuelling, creating and resting up. The difference is that they are with the same kids and instructors for a mulitple number of days.

The Kids Centre is ‘their’ place on snow, dedicated to making everyone’s day on the slopes as good as it can be. The kids make lots of new friends and do heaps of skiing. Bookings are recommended. Senior Kids Club multi day packages are available.

Skiwees & Lowriders

Cardrona’s most famous accelerated development programmes “Skiwees” (skiing for children aged from 5years to 14years) or “Lowriders” (snowboarding for children aged from 8years to 14years). This is a four day programme commencing every Monday during the season and finishing on Thursday.

Designed for kids aged 5 – 14 years, who would like to make real progress and meet new friends. Each day includes 6 hours of supervision with the same group and instructor. The Kids will be on the snow between 4 to 5 hours a day while leaving time for lunch and activities with their friends based out of the Kids Programme Centre.
