Ski Bradford, in conjunction with Andover Rec, offers a popular six week after-school ski and snowboard program for Andover students entering grades 3-12. This program runs early January through mid-February. Schools are limited to 52 participants - please do not register for the waitlist until all spots are taken at your child's school.
Package costs for the 2026 season are as follows:
Open Ski/Snowboard - $400
With Lessons - $550
With Rentals - $550
With Lessons & Rentals - $700
Helmet Rental - $40
PLEASE NOTE: SKI/SNOWBOARD LESSON LEVELS ARE ONLY LEVEL 1 AND LEVEL 2 AND ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.
LESSONS WILL BE IN THE LEARNING AREA ONLY – MAGIC CARPETS AND ROPE TOWS ONLY
New this year, we will be adding an extra day available to all participants on Wednesday, January 28th on the APS Early Release Day for an additional $75 (add $30 for rentals). Please note that lessons will not be held that day (level 1 participants are still welcome to attend as they will have a few weeks worth of lessons under their belt). Participants will go to Bradford right at school dismissal and return to Andover at 5:00pm. To register, please add the “Bradford Single Day Fee” option as you go through the registration process.
Session dates by school:
Tuesdays 1/6-2/10 (make up dates 2/24 and 3/3): Andover High, High Plain, Sanborn, West Elementary, West Middle and Wood Hill
Thursdays 1/8-2/12 (make up dates 2/26 and 3/5): Andover High, Bancroft, Doherty, Pike, South and St. Augustine
Andover High students who register for Tuesday AND Thursday only pay $200 more for the additional day! If your high school student is purchasing a rental package for two days, please call our office at 978-623-8340 as we will need to manually apply the discount.
Parent chaperones:
We will be looking for parent volunteers again at each school this winter. If you are interested, please indicate this on your registration. We will be crediting the base cost of the program ($400) back to your MyRec account at the end of the program if you volunteer ($66.66/trip attended if you do not attend all 6 trips). Please email Jeff Newman at jeffrey.newman@andoverma.us with any questions.
