If you have further questions or queries then please get in touch In SKI4SCHOOLS we have many reasons to bring your students to one of our ski experiences packs. These are the FOUR main reasons: ONE Pedagogic The ski school trips are an excellent moment to work all together, outside the common space, the school. In a new space, practicing different activities, also can be used to relate the students differently with the teachers. Being away from home and family for a few days means more responsibility to themselves, learn how to organize and develop in new situations. An experience out of the ordinary as this, helps the students to feel more motivated in their daily work at the center. TWO Contact with nature and respect for the environment The students are in the middle of nature, a very different environment to which they are accustomed. Is an ideal time to know new landscapes and its features. Respect for the environment, is a value that comes increasingly important, to work it on place is a plus for the education centers. THREE Invitation to sports and a healthy lifestyle Sedentary lifestyle today is a clear problem on children. A trip like this is an invitation to an active lifestyle. Skiing or snowboarding are very complete sports. They will work the resistance, balance, agility and concentration. Being an aerobic sport, it helps the heart and lungs, reduces cholesterol and burns many calories. FOUR Unforgettable experience A short trip like this is an experience that will strengthen ties between the students and also with the teachers. We are not talking only of fun, this ski trip is about: living, sport, respect, nature and learning. 4 ski schools Andorra & Spanish Pyrenees
