Jefferson Rec offers Mountain Creek program

OAK RIDGE — The Jefferson Township Recreation Department is again sponsoring a school-based 6-week ski/snowboard program at Mountain Creek in Vernon for Jefferson Township residents in grades 3 to 12 as well as for family and friends.
Jefferson Township students 7-18 years old participating in the multi-trip program (taking the Rec Department bus) may choose either a ski or snowboard package; and all first-time participants must take the free lessons. A multi-trip program lift ticket including six lessons — one for each night the student skis or snowboards on the Jefferson Rec club dates — is available for $139.99 or choose a Youth Club Member All Access season pass available for $229.99 until Oct. 31 and then $249.99 until Nov. 28.
The Jefferson Township Middle School/High School program and the Arthur Stanlick/White Rock Elementary School program will run on Thursday evenings Jan. 5, 12, 19, 26 and Feb. 2 and 9. Make-up dates will be February 16 and March 2. The bus leaves directly from JTMS/JTHS at dismissal at 2:35 p.m. and returns at approximately 9:30 p.m. and directly from the Stanlick School/White Rock School at dismissal at 3:20 p.m. and returns to each school parking lot at approximately 8:45 p.m.
An optional equipment rental package which includes a free Helmet Rental and Rental Damage Insurance is $124.99 and valid on the club group nights. All Jefferson student skiers and snowboarders must wear helmets to protect against head injury.
The Recreation Department offers busing for the six group trips to/from Mountain Creek at $85 per student attending the JT High School, Middle School, White Rock and Stanlick Elementary Schools; and students can bring their own equipment to their respective school the morning of each trip (not on the school bus!) and on the ski bus with them to Mountain Creek. Parents must reserve and make payment online through the Rec Department’s new program Community Pass. Directions to establish an online Community Pass account is available at www.jeffersontownship.net, to Form Center, to Recreation and accounts will allow members of the public to register for this program and all current and future Jefferson Recreation programs and activities.
