The Morris County of Commerce Award for Innovative Program of the Year and the National Ski Area Association Award for Mountains are for Everyone! GRIT ‘n Snow is a Youth Resilience Series program in collaboration with Mountain Creek and the Mental Health Association to guide children towards developing strong mental health and well-being AND learn how to snowboard!

This 8-week program features 3-indoor sessions at the Y including indoor snowboard lessons from Mountain Creek pros before we take it to the mountain for 5 trips with lessons on the snow. Every session and trip we will be doing games and activities that create a safe environment for kids of all backgrounds to build their confidence, make new friends, and grow their resiliency in time (their GRIT).

Parent partnership is key! There will be a mandatory attendance in week 1 for the participants and their guardians. Come prepared to play together.
