Arrival Day Delay

Greetings Families,

Over the past two weeks our academy staff have all been planning & preparing for our biggest arrival day ever to ensure that we were prepared to adapt to all of the new rules & regulations around Covid 19. Following a successful summer of camps & our biggest group of academy students ever we are proud to report that there was not a single case of Covid across the hundreds of skiers, snowboarders, skateboarders & mountain bike campers, students or staff! It has been amazing to watch the campus come to life along with upskilling the best staff we have ever had here going into the 2020-2021 school year.  Following the recent windstorm that knocked out power in the Mount Hood area we have not been able to recover power due to the forest fires that have now been growing around Oregon. Due to these unforeseen circumstances we have made the decision to push our arrival day back a couple days to Wednesday, September 16. 

We have been working with the local government along with the local power company to be as prepared as possible, but with the dynamic paradigm that we are currently facing, we cannot guarantee that the power would be back up in time for a Saturday arrival. We will continue to keep all of you abridged on how things are developing here. Your understanding is greatly appreciated in these challenging times, but we know that this is still going to be the best year ever. 

Thank you,

Mike Hanley, Head of School 

 and 

 Dan Tattersfield, Director of Admissions
