Children’s Lessons and Programs
Penquins and Polar Bears. Snow Foxes and Wild Things. We start them young at Mount Southington. Our children’s programs are designed for the young skier, ages 4 to12, and are held in The Glacier Learning Area, an area of the mountain reserved exclusively for these children’s programs. The Glacier Learning Area, located next to the Rental Shop and the Alpine Eatery, is very convenient for moms, pops and kids, and features the Magic Carpet Lift and the Handle Tow.
Our instructors are specially trained to work with young learners. Each lesson centers on exercises and games that teach skills while providing fun for the youngsters. At the end of the lesson, parents are given a Progress Card detailing accomplishments and a program to follow.
Get your kids off the couch and out of the house. Get them to Mount Southington for skiing fun out in the winter sun.
We do not take reservations for these programs. They are first come first serve. Please make sure that you are at the area at least one hour before the program starts. The Children's Program includes a Lift Ticket good until 5 pm.

| Wild Things | ||
| Wild Things is a multi-week program offered to children, ages 6 to 12, who can already move around the mountain. Modeled after our successful Children’s Program, its emphasis is to have fun while improving each child’s skiing skills. Wild Things offers your child a chance to ski with the same instructor and group for all four or eight sessions. This enables the instructor and child to establish a “skiing partnership” where the instructor can tailor the weekly lessons to the group’s specific needs. Wild Things is offered on consecutive Saturdays or Sundays in both January and February as either four week or eight-week sessions. This program runs from 10am to 3pm and includes a one hour supervised lunch (Box Lunch). | ||
