Frequently Asked Questions
General Information for Participants
How do I schedule a lesson?
The first step is to complete the Participant Registration Form. Once complete you will be able to schedule your lesson(s).
Are scholarships available?
Summit Adaptive Sports is committed to providing affordable programs that are accessible to all, regardless of one's financial situation. Our goal is that cost should never be the sole barrier to participation. These scholarships are made possible by grants and generous donors. Scholarships applications will be reviewed and awarded on a rolling basis until our scholarship funds are depleted. If you are interested in applying please complete a Scholarship Application (in addition to the Participant Registration Form) and our independent review committee will contact you. The Scholarship Application can be found in our Participate section.
What should I bring with me?
Depending on your or your family member needs please bring the following:
-
Water and Snack
-
Reinforcers: For the student to perform new or difficult tasks, please give or inform the coach of these incentives at the beginning of the lesson.
-
Visual Behavioral Supports: Simple behavioral supports such as token boards and choice boards.
-
Communication Supports: Augmentative communication devices
Do I need a medical form to participate?
We do not require that you submit a general medical form to us for participation however you should check with your (or your family member's) physician prior to participation and receive a recommendation from them to join us for lessons. Very important - any individual with a history of seizures needs to submit a Seizure Protocol Plan to us when you complete the Participant Registration Form, or shortly thereafter but prior to first lesson. Be sure to email us at summitadapt@summitadaptive.org with any specific medical concerns prior to your first lesson.
What if there is bad weather?
Check Summit Adaptive Website for information on lesson cancellation information if there is bad weather. If we need to cancel lessons because of bad weather every effort will be made to reschedule with you.
Where is parking located?
For Snow Sports the Ski Sundown parking attendants will direct you to accessible parking. The designated handicap spots are to the left of the entrance bridge. Sometimes the lots are very busy but there is a drop off area near the entrance bridge if needed. For other sports we will send additional communication with parking information.
When should I arrive and how will I meet my coach/the group and get my ticket?
Your lesson has built in time to get rental equipment. For snow sports we recommend that you arrive with enough time to navigate the parking lot, go to the main lodge for a bio break, and the meet your coach at the lesson time in rentals (if you need them) or at the Summit Shed (which is just outside the rear exit of the rental building). Your coach will have your ticket. For other sports we will send additional communication.
Do parents or guardians need to remain on site?
It is strongly encouraged for parents or guardians to remain on site for all of our sporting activities.
What is your current policy for COVID-19?
We will be following state and federal guidelines throughout the season. Please review our current COVID-19 Policy for the most up-to-date policy information.
