Smugglers' Notch Adaptive Programs

for children and adults of all abilities

Our thanks to Cloudveil Mountain Apparel for supporting the team's outerwear needs!
During Winter 2013, the Smugglers' Notch Adaptive Program had a team of athletes participate for the first time in the Vermont Winter Special Olympics! The team that competed in the March 2013 Games at Suicide Six in Woodstock, Vermont included a snowboarder competing in the Giant Slalom, Super G and Slalom on the advanced course; a bi skier competing in Giant Slalom, Super G and Slalom on the intermediate course; and two skiers competing in Giant Slalom, Super G and Slalom on the intermediate course. Congratulations to the team members and their coaches; we are very proud of their achievement.



Smugglers' Notch Adaptive Program (SNAP), provides therapeutic recreation for children and adults of all abilities.

Experiences are tailored to meet the needs and goals of each individual. Some campers/students may require two counselors/instructors, while others may be appropriately paired.

We also offer an inclusion program. This gives a child with a disability the opportunity to socialize with his/her peers while still maintaining the support he/she needs through the SNAP program.

There is no age limit for the SNAP program. We provide accessibility for adults during the Winter season, too.

Half and full day lessons are available. Our highly trained instructor will evaluate each individual's needs and goals to determine their equipment needs. The SNAP program maintains an inventory of adaptive equipment including mono-skis, bi-skis and a slider. Snowboarding is also available.

$169 per day, per child. $135.20 per day, per child on the Club Smugglers' Classic and Summit Packages.
$89 per 1/2 day, per child. $71.20 per 1/2 day per child on the Club Smugglers' Classic and Summit Packages. All SNAP camp and lesson programs meet in The Meeting House at 9:00 am, afternoon programs meet at 1:00 pm.


What guests are saying... "By far the best program we have found! Above and beyond our expectations - the staff was amazing and the quality of the program made our vacation!"
