Rotarun opens Rota-Rippers applications for winter

Families planning a child’s first winter on skis or a snowboard can now apply for Rota-Rippers at Rotarun. The community-supported, tuition-free program serves children ages 5–11, from kindergarten through fifth grade. Children must be five by January 1, 2027. ^[2]

Two sessions are offered: January 11–February 1 and February 8–March 1, 2027. Both meet Mondays and Tuesdays from 3–5 p.m. Each session has room for 50 participants, and children may take part in one session, not both. ^{[1] [2]}

Applications are available in English and Spanish through Rotarun’s website. The deadline is November 16, with applicants to be notified by November 23. Submitting an application is not confirmation of a place; families should watch for the program’s response. ^{[1] [2] [3]}
