Sports and Arts — Skiing & Snowboarding

My 12-year-old son participated in the Sports and Arts Skiing & Snowboarding program in Brooklyn this winter. He really enjoyed the small group sizes, which allowed for personalized attention from the instructors. Our instructor, Jake, was particularly engaging and made sure everyone felt included, regardless of their skill level. They spent a good amount of time outdoors, which I appreciated since it's hard to get kids excited about physical activity sometimes. The only downside was the long lines at the lifts, especially during peak times, which often ate into the actual time spent skiing. Overall, my son made new friends and learned some excellent skills on the slopes, so I would recommend this program with the caveat to be prepared for some waiting!

My 12-year-old daughter had a great time at the Sports and Arts Skiing & Snowboarding program in Brooklyn. Each week, she learned new skills and improved her techniques, all while enjoying the beautiful outdoors. The instructors, like Jake, were really engaging and made the experience enjoyable for the kids. I also appreciated the small group sizes, which allowed for more personalized attention. However, the pickup process was a bit chaotic, with long lines forming at the end of the sessions. It would be nice if they could streamline that a bit. Overall, I’d recommend this program for active kids who love winter sports.
