Participant Responsibilities
YAPs: To actively participate, learn, grow, make new lifelong friends, and have fun.
Adult Support Staff: It is important to remember that this event is designed for the YAPs and your cooperation and assistance are vital to its success. The fee for the seminar is kept at a minimum for both adults and YAPs. By accepting this rate you are agreeing to fully support and assist during the event as requested by the organizers.
Chaperones/Advisors: You will probably be assigned to a condo or room with YAPs from your area/region, as well as YAPs from other areas. You will be responsible for all YAPs assigned to the same housing unit. There will be a minimum of two chaperones per unit so you won’t go it alone.
Shepherds: Often a YAP Advisor who is responsible for a large group of YAPs during the daytime events. Shepherds need to have ski skills that allow them to ski all terrain available during the event. They ensure the group gets from point A to point B on time. Shepherds also have to deal with any unforeseen “glitches or speed bumps” that may arise.
OEC Patient: Adult support personnel who have not been assigned other vital roles. This would include parents, patrollers, and chaperones that will lie in the snow for a session playing patient. They must arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled start of the session and are expect to stay until that rotation is completed. This usually takes about three hours.
OEC/S&T Training/Testing: Certified and Division Staff preselected by the Division YAP Advisor participate offering the best educational opportunity for the attending YAPs.
Saturday Night Activity/General Event Organization/Logistics & Support Staff. Special staff responsible for the planning and implementation of the Saturday night event. Each year the event changes ranging from Avalanche Training, Search and Rescue, or Mountain Travel Rescue skills.
