in case you wanted to know more about why we do what we do...
the Sport and Community Service mix
At Skiing is Believing, we believe that sport and physical fitness have the capacity to change lives for the better, and more fundamentally, that movement is empowering in many ways.
At first glance, our programs offer opportunities in physical activity and community service. Beyond the scheduled activities, we provide opportunities to engage in new activities and unique learning environments. Through the combination of play and positive community impact, campers are empowered to be confident, strong, humble, persevering, and uplifting individuals - and team members. The value of winning, perhaps more importantly, the value of losing, and other transferrable life skills can all be achieved through these means.
The character and personal development that sport can create is powerful. Skiing is Believing wants to ensure as many local children as possible benefit from the enduring power of a healthy, active, and engaged lifestyle. We will always do our best to provide local youth with the best opportunities for fun and personal growth. Double bonus if we help a child find their lifelong passion through sport and movement!

VARIETY - THE SPICE OF SIB
|
At Skiing is Believing, we truly believe that variety is the spice of life.
This is why we offer year-round youth camps with opportunities in sport, fitness, community service, and of course, skiing. Every day of every week, camp offers a different physical activity and focus at a unique location. Our goal is to introduce children to a wide variety of sports and physical fitness activities, while also teaching and developing life skills. Research has shown that participating in a variety of sports through childhood prevents injury and burnout among children, supporting our model built on variety that aims to continually renew participants' love of sport and physical activity. Additionally, our weekly day of rest allows our curriculum to incorporate community service and showcase the value of volunteerism, offering a unique education opportunity. Active, healthy, and engaged children make thriving, well-intended, and strong adults. We hope to cultivate healthy bodies, happy minds, and good hearts through sport and community service here at SIB. |

our Story
|
Skiing is Believing is owned and operated by Meghan Ochs. Since 2003, Meghan has been coaching and working with children in a variety of sports and activities. Meghan is passionate about sharing her love of play, and sport, with as many children as possible.
Meghan knows personally that physical activities can build good character and self-esteem. They make for strong, healthy children who in turn, can become happy, healthy, and mentally sound adults. As a child, Meghan participated and competed in many sports herself. While she has her favorites, she has always been a promoter of sport in general. As an adult, she is even more passionate about sharing her love of movement with children to extend to them the opportunities and growth that she has been fortunate enough to receive. Her goal is not to necessarily coach the best, but impact the most. She wants to instill the lifelong love, and benefit of sport, in each child she coaches and teaches. Her primary career goal has become creating and supporting programs and partnerships that ease access to sports, so all children can reap the lifelong mental and physical benefits. The name, Skiing is Believing, is derived from the fact that these days, Meghan spends most of her time coaching and instructing on the ski hill. Her love of skiing does not prevent her from understanding that personal growth and character development can also be achieved through other physical means. Meghan also coaches CrossFit and Weightlifting and in years past, also coached gymnastics, tumbling and competitive cheer. Skiing is Believing was founded with the purpose of expanding the opportunities children have in physical sport and exercise to create environments that challenge them mentally. No one promotes, supports, and eases access to (snow) sports better than Skiing is Believing. |
