Dear Winter Camp Parent
As you read our list of “What to Bring” to our Winter Ski & Snowboard Camp, you will notice the first item, a Motorola 2-Way Radio , is mandatory this year. At Ultimate Watersports Winter Camp, we are very serious about safety and communication with our campers. To achieve the best possible communication between your child and our staff, we require each camper to bring a Motorola 2-Way Radio (“walkie-talkie”) each day of camp.
This will allow every camper to hear important announcements/reminders made by our staff throughout the day, such as:
• Ski & Snowboard Lesson times and locations
• Group Activities times and locations
• Lunch time and location
• Weather Alerts
• Changing Slope Condition Alerts
• End of Day reminders!!
• Rental Equipment Return
• Bus pick-up location
In addition, campers will also have immediate access to our entire staff if they have any urgent needs or emergencies, during the course of the day. Our staff response time (arrival on scene) to emergency calls is typically no more than one to two minutes. This is unprecedented in the snow sports industry! Your child's ability to communicate with our staff (by radio) is vital to that success.
If you do not already own a Motorola 2-way radio, you can find them at just about every Target, Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Circuit City , Office Depot, Sams Club, Costco, etc. The cost is typically between $15 and $25 per unit at these retailers. We do not recommend buying directly from Motorola (on-line) as their pricing is considerably higher.
Please be sure to purchase a Motorola model with both Channels AND Privacy Codes!! This enables us to secure a secure frequency for Ultimate Watersports Winter campers and staff exclusively. Our staff will set each camper's radio to the correct frequency each morning on the bus trip to Ski Roundtop. We will also instruct each camper on protocol for communication and emergencies.
For more details, please see the information below on Motorola models. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you,
Hal Ashman, Director
