Bee Creek UMC Youth/Family Ski Trip Winter Park, CO March 15-19, 2010

What are you planning on doing over spring break this year? Would you be interested in

joining your church family on a ski trip to Winter Park, Colorado? If so, check out the

information here, and then respond ASAP to David Payne pastor@beecreekumc.org or Emily

Smith emily@beecreekumc.org. The church is working through a company that works with

groups for our package - but you don’t have to go through us - you can just meet us there.

This is a great way for you to enjoy a ski trip, get closer to some church friends, and grow

closer to God at the same time. Even if you don’t want to ski - you might enjoy the beautiful

surroundings.

We have to move fast to hold our spots - so we will hold an informational/sign-up meeting on

Sunday, October 18, at 12:15 PM. All spots will be provided on a first-come/first-served

basis. So, you will need to attend this meeting and/or get in touch with David or Emily prior

to that. This trip will be a blast - and you won’t want to miss out, so join us!

BEE CREEK UMC YOUTH/FAMILY SKI TRIP

BEE CREEK UMC 3000 Bee Creek Road, Spicewood, TX 78669! www.beecreekumc.org

We will be staying at the Iron Horse

Resort at the base of Winter Park Ski

Area. Iron Horse is considered a ski in/ski

out resort. If you would like to visit their

website it is www.ironhorse-resort.com

Our package is for 4 nights lodging and 3

days of skiing. Basic ski rentals are also

provided. Snow Boards and ski-rental

upgrades cost extra. Lessons are also

available, at the cost offered by the

resort.

The package costs are:

Total Package Adult - $470

Total Package Student (13-17 yrs) - $451

Total Pkg. Child (6-12 yrs) - $410

Non Ski Rental Adult - $419

Non Ski Rental Student - $400

Non Skier Package - $264

Our package is set for March 15-19. We

arrive to check-in on Monday, Mar. 15.

We ski the 14-16th, and we leave the

morning of the 19th.

We will be skiing at the Winter Park

Resort in Winter Park, Colorado. If you

would like to go to their website it is

www.skiwinterpark.com

Winter Park is an excellent place for

groups and families. Our ski rentals will

be in the Iron Horse Resort, there are

shuttle buses that run regularly between

the resort and town, and there are other

fun activities besides skiing. There are

also plenty of beginner and intermediate

runs for novice skiers.

It is highly advisable that if you have not

skied before - you need to take a lesson.

Self-taught methods rarely end well.

Even a 1/2 day group lesson will give

confidence and help you enjoy the trip

more.

We will hold Group Times each evening in

a meeting room at the condo. Here we

will touch base, celebrate the day, and

have a time of worship.

Skiing is great (of course I’m biased!), but

it can be a great trip for your family. It

can also be expensive. In addition to the

costs previously given, we will also have

the costs of food and transportation.

Once we know how many people are

going we will be able to have a figure for

that specific cost. Our goal is to raise

money to cover the cost of food and

transportation.

Clothing can also be a challenge

financially. We will try to help that by

having a “share” program. That way

people might be able to borrow from

others clothing that has been out-grown

or not in use.

Our payment dates are:

October 18 - $75 deposit due

November 5 - $100 due

December 5 - $100 due

Mar. 1 - Balance due

WE HOPE YOU CAN JOIN US There are too many details to answer and go into here... so please... join us for the meeting. Even if you

are considering it - or doing your own thing, the information will be helpful to you. Also, if you are going to need to get there early or stay

late - you will need to make your own arrangements.

Projections are for a good snow year - and I know from experience that these trips are fun for all. Come join us!
