Kids’ Programs in Banff-Lake Louise

Children of all ages are welcome in Banff-Lake Louise! Our Club Junior snow school program offers a fun learning experience for children ages six to 12.

For younger children there are many combinations of play and snow school to meet the needs and wants of your family, at all three resorts.

Daycare and a variety of indoor and outdoor activities are offered, with a balanced lunch and snacks included.

All our children’s programs are liscenced with the Children & Youth Services of Alberta and, just as importantly, are great fun!

And when the kids are skiing with you, there’s a host of great options.  Beginner, intermediate and expert runs from every chair enable families at The Lake Louise Ski Area to ski together. Mt. Norquay and Sunshine Village both have a mix of terrain to suit everyone’s comfort level.  Plus, Ski Banff-Lake Louise-Sunshine recently won the Neilson Marque of Excellence for its family-friendly ski school for the fifth year, and it’s no surprise why.

For more information on any of the programs listed here, please contact the Banff Ski Hub.

Lessons are available at Mt. Norquay in combination with the daycare program, available for children ages 19 months to six years.
