Join us for a weekend getaway to White Pass, full of skiing fun!

Sibling Ski Camp is a special weekend away for youth ages 11-17 whose sibling has been/was diagnosed with cancer. The camp is designed to bolster participant’s self-confidence, build a network of support, and provide an outlet to address emotions, all while having fun in the snow (and hopefully sun) with seasoned Camp Goodtimes staff and their peers.

For the first time, Sibling Ski Camp will include the option of skiing OR snowboarding. The ratio of skiers to snowboarders will be based on camper interest and staff availability.
