Timberline, built as a public works project in 1937, is now a National Historic Landmark.

  • Val D'isere/France
    Val D’isere/France イタリア・ドロミテスーパースキー SNOWBIRD Friends Welcome to SNOWBIRD SKI CAMP! SNOWBIRD SKI CAMP is a place wher e anyone who likes to ski can come and have lots of fun. Of course, it is OK if it is your first time skiing. If you come to SNOWBIRD you will become good at skiing very quickly. If you come to SNOWBIRD, you will make many new friends. If everyone becomes a snow bird, you can fly down the snowy mountains of the 21st century! Message from Camp Director This year, SNOWBIRD SKI CAMP will meet for its 41st season! Since 1976, roughly 5,000 young people have come and strengthen their bodies and hearts through skiing. One important characteristic of SNOWBIRD, apart from improving skiing skills, is to understand a lifestyle within nature, and improving young people’s environmental sensitivity. Developing future leaders is also a principal idea. Encountering good leaders is essential to realize this Snowbird Ski Camp ideal, and to learn high skiing techniques effectively and safely, while Tetsu Miyazaki, Director having a good time. In addition to the top-level Japanese instructors, sensational skiers and instructors from other countries sometimes take part in SNOWBIRD. By interacting with these instructors, young people develop global interests and it is a great opportunity for them to open their eyes to the world. I hope that young people can take what they have learned at SNOWBIRD, foster it in their hearts, and gain a life-time-sport. 1 Goals of SNOWBIRD SKI CAMP SNOWBIRD is the best camp for you to learn how to ski because… ★ Top-level instructors teach campers with passion, and the camp itself is a non-profit purpose.

  • Sportsas a Teachable Moment
    Sports as a Teachable Moment Updated and includes the 2018 Olympic Games. Sports as a Teachable Moment The imaginative mathematics teacher will find many opportune ‘teachable moments’ in studies of local and worldwide sports. Using the Winter Olympics as a springboard for mathematical instruction presents learning with meaningful, real-life concepts. Sports as a Teachable Moment 2 Sports as a Teachable Moment The North American sports culture pervades many aspects of our daily lives. Newspapers print lengthy daily sports reports, and some television stations are devoted exclusively to sports reporting. During an Olympic year, sports events are featured around the clock on most television stations and even very young children are keenly aware that something important is happening in the world about them. The National Hockey League playoffs, the NBA playoffs, World Cup soccer and the World Series dominate discussion and viewing habits in many households. During major sports or playoff events, adults in households across North America demonstrate intense interest and emotional commitment to the sports events unfolding on television screens before them. Young children watching are quick to learn, in both subtle and overt ways, that competitive sports appear to provide adults with enduring interest and entertainment. The imaginative mathematics teacher may find many opportune ‘teachable moments’ in studies of local and worldwide sports events. Using sports as a springboard for mathematics instruction presents learning within meaningful, real- life contexts. Many children are more than spectators of sports events: they are active participants in sports. Some children engage in sports activities independently, while others play sports under parental direction, or even, in some cases, under parental pressure.
