Activity Note
Lodge check-in available from 3:00 p.m. Remember to bring your nametag (sent previously). This week is designed for intermediate players at 3.0 and above using the Pickleball self-rating system. Please review attachment for details. At best, players should have some familiarity with Pickleball’s rules and scoring, be able to hit forehand drives, serves, returns and dinks at medium pace but lack consistency and control over their shots.
Afternoon:
Due to the remote location of this program, a scheduled complimentary shuttle is available from the airport in Burlington, VT, departing promptly at 3:30 p.m. Program Registration: 3:00-5:00 p.m. After you check in and have your room assignment, join us in the Great Room of the Lodge to register with the program staff, get any updated information, and confirm the time and location of the Orientation session. If you arrive late, please locate your Group Leader and let them know you have arrived.
Dinner:
At the Lodge in the open format kitchen and dining room. Enjoy high-end cooking with menus designed and prepared by our team of chefs. Bring your own alcoholic beverages if desired; alcohol is not served on site. In this age of fast cuisine, we think you’ll appreciate the effort that the dining team puts into their “from scratch” delicacies. Special dietary needs must be noted on the Participant Information Form. If you do not advise us of your requirements or special needs well in advance of your program, we may not be able to accommodate your requests once you arrive on the program.
Evening:
Orientation: 7:30 p.m. The Group Leader will greet everyone and lead introductions. We will review the up-to-date program schedule, discuss roles and responsibilities, logistics, safety guidelines, emergency procedures, and answer questions. Afterwards, there will be a talk about Glen Sutton, the Eastern Townships, and the general scene in this part of the world. Periods in the schedule designated as “Free time” and “At leisure” offer opportunities to do what you like and make your experience even more meaningful and memorable according to your personal preferences. The Group Leader will be happy to offer suggestions. Program activities, schedules, personnel, and indicated distances or times may change due to local circumstances/conditions. In the event of changes, we will alert you as quickly as possible. Thank you for your understanding. Continue getting to know your fellow Road Scholars, settle in, and get a good night’s rest for the day ahead.
