Learning & Philosophy
Our philosophy around the Treehouse experience is to share the passion of our incredible environment with the children. We bring the outdoors in! Children will learn about our animals and nature while they are learning to ski & snowboard or enjoying our summer camp. Our staff is there for each child as an individual and to encourage learning and growth in whatever way that they need. The Treehouse Kids' Adventure Center is a world-class place to experience the wonders of the Rocky Mountains!
Big Burn Bears: Ages 3-4 - Our Big Burn Bears have their very own Bear Den located in the Treehouse and their own beginner area complete with obstacle courses and Sun Kids Lifts. Parents must sign their children in and out at the Bear Den registration desk.
Grizzlies: Ages 5-6 - First time skiers meet inside in Eagle Peak. All skiers, Levels 1-9 meet on-snow in the Sun Kids Lift area. Children's skiing ability will be assessed on-snow and you will have an opportunity to meet your child's instructor. At the end of the day you will sign your child out with his or her instructor.
