Ski and Snowboard Camp Resort Agreements and Responsibilities

Get the resort's permission and agree who handles teaching space, lift access, rentals, care and emergencies. Record responsibilities and supplier terms before selling places. An informal offer of access is not a complete camp operating plan.

A teaching certificate is not the same as permission to run a commercial program at a resort. Ask the resort who may teach, where they may teach, how outside groups book, and which agreements are needed.

Get written answers. A friendly conversation at a ticket desk is not enough for a season of camps.

Your agreement should name the dates, group limits, approved instructors, meeting areas, lesson areas, lift access, indoor space, food arrangements, and emergency contacts. It should say who checks passes, who manages rentals, and who may change the day's plan.

Ask what happens when only part of the mountain opens. Ask about delayed lifts, severe weather, strikes, transport failures, and the resort closing before your final day. Find out whether credit goes to your business or directly to families. Your customer terms must fit the deal you actually have.

Check how the resort wants you to use its name and logo. Do not suggest a partnership that has not been agreed. Ask whether you need to be named on insurance documents or provide proof of specific cover.

If the resort supplies instructors, identify who supervises their work and who remains responsible for general camp care. “The resort handles skiing” does not explain who takes a child to the toilet or stays with someone who stops early.

Your task: Build a one-page responsibility sheet that both organizations approve.
