Fall Season is Winding Down...Who's in for Winter?
Happy Thanksgiving BYEP Mentor Crew! We are so thankful for each and every one of you and the commitment you have made this season to our amazing kids! You all rock.
Gear Distribution, by far one of my favorite days of the year, is Sunday, December 2nd. Your PM will let you know what time to show on Sunday - we appreciate your help getting our new class of BYEPers decked out in sweet gear and super psyched about BYEP. Lunch from Red Tractor Pizza will be provided. Thanks in advance!
BYEP Mentors Needed for Winter Session!
Every winter we ramp up to three mentors per group to help with supervision up at Big Sky. If you haven’t already confirmed your mentor spot, please do so today! Also, we need your help spreading the word for more winter mentors. Potential mentors should be 21+ (in order to drive rigs), know how to ski or snowboard, and have an insatiable drive to connect with really great kids (while shredding Big Sky Resort every Sunday!). Please encourage great humans you know to apply!
