ADVENTURE HOLIDAYS OF A LIFETIME FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE WITH AN ILLNESS OR DISABILITY

CRITERIA

METHOD OF SKIING - AS ANY ABLE-BODIED CHILD/YOUNG PERSON ATTENDING ITALIAN SKI SCHOOL OR ONE-TO-ONE TUITION WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF USING SKI TOE TIP CONNECTORS

AGE - 12 TO 14

CONDITION - SEVERE BURNS INCLUDING SEVERE FACIAL BURNS - VERY AMBULANT WITH A POSSIBLE ILLNESS

WHAT IS EXPECTED OF THIS CHILD?

TWO POSSIBLE METHODS OF SKIING

METHOD ONE

This child may possibly make up a group of 8 children and be taught in the local Italian Ski School, accompanied by a paediatric nurse or doctor.   Lessons are from 10.30-12.30 and from 14.00-15.00, with an option for another hour.   If they learn and progress, many of them will ski on the Thursday at another resort just minutes away.  This is only just a little more demanding but a great thrill and achievement for them, a brilliant way to end their week.

METHOD TWO

If you feel this child will not be able to keep up with the sick but otherwise mobile children then you may care to nominate them for the Ski Tip Toe Connectors, with the possibility of one-to-one tuition.
