Campers will need to bring a bag lunch, snack, and water bottles - we will have refrigeration to keep their lunches cold.

Please pack a lunch and two snacks for your child(ren) daily; they might need extra food as we will be doing a lot of physical activities they might not do at home. Also, please pack a water bottle that is easy for your child(ren) to carry while hiking. We will refill water bottles multiple times a day to make sure the campers stay hydrated.

Dismissal will happen at 3pm each day in the Berkshire Lodge. Camper’s bags will need to go home each night to ensure they have what they need for a successful next day, to replenish dry bathing suits, towels and a full change of clothes.

"I’m Molly Goodrich, the Youth Programs and Snowsports Director at Catamount. I hold a Master of Science in Education with a focus on School Counseling, along with a certificate of advanced study in Mental Health Counseling, and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and History.

My professional journey working with children began at age 14 as a ski instructor and volunteer youth track coach. Since then, I’ve gained diverse experience as a CPS worker, daycare director and licensor, assistant dean of students, USA Track & Field Level 1 certified coach, and varsity cross country and track and field coach at a local high school.

My passion is supporting youth in developing positive life skills, fostering a sense of fun within safe boundaries that will help them thrive throughout their lives. I love spending time on the mountain in every season—whether it’s scavenger hunting, hiking, tie-dying, skiing, snowboarding, or enjoying dinner at Fat Cat while listening to live music!"
