FURANO FREERIDE

Childrens Holiday Programme
combinging english class with alpine winter education

Furano Freeride is a programme designed by local international ski schools (European ski diploma) to teach children both verbal English language skills and alpine winter education. We believe children learn more when they are having fun. By combining language lessons with physical activities it helps with the development of education through kinaesthetic learning. Children will be encouraged to speak english through out the day with the use of phrase repetition and learning to converse in english suitable to their level. For children looking to improve their language off the slopes we also offer an outdoor activity programme.
