Kamview Jackrabbits are coached by a dedicated group of parent, grandparent and youth volunteers, and often, as the kids grow up, our volunteers move on. We are always keen to recruit new coaches and helper. Training is available (and paid for by the club), so here is a great opportunity to improve your skiing and coaching. If you know of any parents, grandparents or youth who would be interested in volunteering to have fun with the children on snow, please let us know. If you aren’t comfortable coaching, there are many other ways you can help.

High school aged helpers are welcomed and will count towards volunteer hours.
