It seems like the planning for the senior ski weekends started so long ago and now it’s all over. I just returned from our 5th annual Fernwood Cove Senior Ski Weekend! If you aren’t sure what I am talking about, let me explain…
5 years ago, Fernwood Cove implemented a tradition of inviting our incoming seniors up to camp for a weekend of skiing, hanging out at a snow covered Fernwood Cove, and talking about what it is to be a senior. In our first year of ski weekends we had about 8 kids, now we have about 15…or typically half of the age group. We have two separate ski weekends for our 1st and 2nd session seniors, of course.
Having just completed 5 years of ski weekends I can tell you one thing – this is one of the best traditions that I have had the honor of being a part of. I love every minute. The ski weekends give me a chance to really just hang out with the seniors and get to know everyone just a bit better. And I think the seniors think it’s really funny to see me in my pajamas. I might be the Assistant Director, but I still wear cute pajama pants, same as I did when I was 15 – just like them.
So – if you are a future senior at Fernwood Cove, or a parent of a future senior at Fernwood Cove – I encourage you to check out the pictures from this year’s ski weekends and when the time comes for your ski trip (or your daughters ski trip) – send her up to us – no matter where you are from. This wonderful experience allows the girls to see each other in the winter, see camp covered in snow, go walking on the frozen lake, go sledding at camp…and in general is one of the most amazing bonding experiences they can have! It’s worth the trip! Trust me. In past years we have even had girls come all the way from Texas, Florida, Chicago, and London…not to mention many many other cities in between…this is truly a unique experience.
So check out the pictures…become a fan of Fernwood Cove on Facebook…and we will see you at your ski weekend!
