Experience Camp in Winter
Winter Community Days give families and friends a chance to enjoy the fun of camp—tubing, skiing, and skiing outside, hot chocolate and games inside, and plenty of space to relax together. It’s a simple, welcoming way to explore our trails, meet our staff, and experience Forest Springs in its winter beauty.
These afternoons offer a natural introduction to camp—our facilities, our people, and our heart. We’d love to have you return for one of our programmed events, where we explore beyond the trails and slopes to the deeper matters of faith and life. But on Community Days, the focus is simply enjoying winter and spending time together in the beauty of God’s creation.
Two Great Ways to Participate
Community Day Grounds Pass – Suggested Donation of $15
Whether you’re actively participating or just watching, everyone entering outdoor winter activity areas—or indoor recreation areas—needs a Grounds Pass. This includes tubing, skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and ice skating
These spaces are full of movement and shared activity, and spectators are often right in the middle of the action. Because the risks are similar—slips, falls, and collisions—we treat everyone in these zones as participants for safety purposes.
Your Grounds Pass includes access to all winter activity areas.
Rental fees below still apply.
Free ski and snowboard lessons are provided by trained staff!
Lodge-Only Visitors
We encourage guests who are dropping off participants and spectators to enjoy the afternoon inside Neale Lodge - reading, enjoying a coffee, or simply hanging out. Lodge-only visitors may have access to the gym and game room, but must obtain a Grounds Pass to access any of our outdoor activity areas.

Waivers
Because our activities involve shared spaces and inherent risks, all guests entering our facility—whether participating or spectating—must complete a liability waiver.
