Ski Trip

March 4 & 5

Winterplace, West Virginia

I am pleased to announce the details of our upcoming ski trip to Winterplace! We will leave the church at 7:30am on Sunday, March 4, drive to Winterplace and ski that afternoon and early evening. We will stay at a cabin at Glade Springs (4 or 6 room cabin depending on how many people we have) where we will have access to a recreation center with basketball courts, a pool, and more. Sunday morning we will enjoy a buffet breakfast and then snow tube 11am-1pm before returning to Fort Mill around 5:00pm.

Families and friends are welcome. We really need at least 20 people to make the housing affordable but can have more people than that. (If we don't get 20 people we'll need to do something pretty different but might still be able to do a day trip. We'll know our numbers after the February 1 signup deadline.)

The costs are as follows:

Participant age 13+ with a ski lesson: $230.00

$100.00 deposit due February 1.

Participant age 13+ without a ski lesson: $205.00

$100.00 deposit due February 1.

Participant age 5-12 with a ski lesson: $200.00

$100.00 deposit due February 1.

Participant age 5-12 without a ski lesson: $175.00

$100.00 deposit due February 1.

So that you know what the individual expenses are, here is a breakdown:

Lift ticket = $62; ages 5-12 = $48

Equipment rental (skis or snowboard) = $34; ages 5-12 = $24

Group ski lesson (optional but very much encouraged for anyone who has not been skiing quite a bit) = $25

Lodging = $42

Buffet breakfast on Sunday = $15

Snow tubing = $34

WV sales tax

Meals except for Sunday breakfast are not included.

We can reimburse drivers for gas from the youth fund if that is desired.

Let me know what questions you have.

Financial Assistance Available

As with all of our Grace Youth Activities, we don't want anyone to stay home because they can't afford to go. If you need financial assistance let me know and I can help with that quietly and discretely. We want our youth active and involved regardless of their ability to pay.

I will send additional information about other upcoming activities soon, but wanted to highlight the ski trip details today.

As always, please let me know how I can be helpful to you and your family.



Always remember: "God loves you and so do I!"
