Status for 2020-2021 Ski & Snowbard Season and COVID-19 |
|
SEWASP has decided to not offer adaptive ski and snowboard lessons during the 2020-2021 season due to COVID-19. An email with more information was sent to all participants and volunteers on September 17, 2020. This was a very difficult decision, as we all look forward to the ski & snowboard season with all of you. Please watch your email or check back for updates. Thank you for your continued support of and participation in SEWASP. |

 SEWASP (pronounced "see-wasp") provides adaptive alpine skiing and snowboard lessons for people with disabilities in southeastern Wisconsin and surrounding areas. "Adaptive" refers to the modified equipment and teaching techniques used to enable skiers and snowboarders to participate safely and as independently as possible. Instruction is generally provided at Alpine Valley Ski Resort near East Troy, Wisconsin (southwest of Milwaukee on I-43), on Thursday evenings from January through mid-March. |

Interested in Volunteering? |

SEWASP is always looking for dedicated volunteer instructors and community volunteers for the ski and snowboard season. However, we have made the difficult decision to not offer ski & snowboard lessons for the 2020-2021 season due to COVID-19. Please still contact us if your interested in volunteering as we will continue working and planning for next season. Dry-land clinics are held Thursday evenings in October/November. On-snow clinics are held in December. Lessons occur on Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings, and begin the first or second Thursday after New Years. Please contact us if you are interested.
