Winter 4 Kids - Vernon NJ

Using nature and the outdoors to create healthy lifestyles for our youth through winter activities

By Jessica Shandor, Program Sales Director December 5, 2020


With the impact of the pandemic and societal challenges, youth from every background are adapting to different educational experiences.  Parents and caregivers are doing their best to assist with school and mental health challenges during this time. Safe, outdoor activities during and after school are tough to come by for a significant number of students. At Winter4Kids, we are doing all that we can with schools and community partners to provide experiences necessary for children to develop enriched attitudes about themselves, health, opportunities, mastery, and the outdoors. The Winter4Kids Campus is a facility dedicated to children and their development through winter activity and teaching healthy habits.




Winter4Kids, based on the National Activity Center Campus in Vernon, NJ exists to create healthy lifestyles and influence behaviors of youth through winter activities. Better health and attitudes are a result of increased to moderate activity, nutritious food and personal development. With mentor-based instruction, healthy meals and equipment, school-aged children can master Alpine, Nordic skiing, and Snowboarding in an environment dedicated only to them. We use nature and the outdoors as a means to introduce youth to not just the wider world, but to themselves. They learn to take responsibility for themselves, how to measure risk and reward, and think about life opportunities not imaginable before.
