BUNYIPS 3-6 YEARS SKI PROGRAM
The Bunyip Program is based out of the Buller Kids Centre on level 1 & 2 of the Ski & Snowboard School building. Children love learning to ski in their own area, The Magic Forest, which features three moveable carpets that make learning easy. The small classes give your child personal attention and encourage optimum progress. Buller Kids Assistants support our instructor team when getting the children organised into their class and during snack and meal times to ensure your little one has the best possible care. To help decide what level your child is click here for a guide.
