FY 16 Year in Review
Since 1997, the WinterKids Passport has helped Maine kids get off the couch and into the snow! The Passport opens doors to an exciting array of fun and healthy winter activities for the whole family. While the winter of 2015-2016 is not one that will be fondly remembered by snow lovers, the Passport continued to provide opportunities for 1,556 Maine children to try a new winter sport. The Passport’s 50 participating areas provided opportunities for Maine families to develop healthy lifestyles and to become lifelong winter outdoor enthusiasts. Some partner areas held WinterKids Days, gaining new customers by providing deep discounts for the whole family. Our 2016 Passport Family Survey indicates that the Passport is doing its job! More Maine kids and families are getting outside & active, thanks to this highly effective and beloved program! 1,556 Passports were distributed throughout Maine. 83% of WinterKids Passport users skied/snowboarded at least once using the Passport. 23% of Passport holders tried a new snow sport for the very first time using their Passport. 60% of the Passport families said that they increased their ski days in 2015-2016 as a result of having the Passport. 67% of parents agree that the Passport helped their child become more active in the winter; and these parents believe that this will continue after their child is out of the program. Here at WinterKids we are always looking to improve our programs to better serve WinterKids families and partners. We asked parents about the future of the Passport. Here’s what they said: 88% of respondents would be interested in an online version (a downloadable app or e-mail) of the WinterKids Passport. 83% would be interested in additional Passport offers via a log-in. “My daughter really enjoyed using her Passport this year. It was given to her as a Christmas gift and she has gotten a lot of use from it.” Stacy, Lewiston “My wife and I skied periodically as kids, but once we had a family; we skied very little. Without WinterKids, we would have not been able to teach our kids how to ski.” Ryan, Scarborough “We were able to ski at places we typically do not visit, which was great. We explored more Maine mountains and found some we really like.” Mike, Readfield “I think with the Passport he has found something that he normally wouldn't have tried because of the expense - something that he is actually finding he is really good at and has been encouraging his friends to do it too.” Stephanie, Topsham P.O.

The Challenge encourages preschool and elementary school teachers to incorporate fun, outdoor activity into their winter lessons. In order to meet the Challenge, teachers must 1) facilitate a minimum of three active, academic lessons (or a 6-week unit for preschool) and 2) provide qualitative and quantitative data following each outdoor experience. Teachers can adapt WinterKids lessons to their classroom needs, with each lesson lasting thirty minutes to one hour. The 2015-2016 season marked the sixth year of this program, and the first time teachers and students in New Hampshire have joined the Challenge. 338 teachers (219 new this year and 119 returning) and 5,187 children joined the WinterKids Challenge this school year. This data reflects 33% of participants (111 teachers completed program surveys via Survey Monkey). This year, Challenge students and teachers were outdoors and actively learning for more than 7,780 hours (466,830 minutes)!

WinterKids Challenge- Guide to Outdoor Active Learning Elementary Edition Adaptation or Modification WinterKids is Low Barrier!

Half of the teachers modified the lessons in some way, adapting the program to work for different age groups and physical settings. Most teachers made small changes—incorporating materials on hand, or adding additional concepts to expand the lesson. “We included parents and siblings (on our outdoor hike).” Kimberly, Anson Preschool 3% Adaptation 48% 52% Yes No Focus Student attention! Almost every teacher said their students were focused and attentive during the WinterKids activities.

WinterKids Challenge - Program Satisfaction Highly recommended! Recommendation Yes 3% 8% No 97% Don't Know Most teachers would recommend WinterKids to a colleague or friend.

This year, 35% of teachers returned from last year. “Looking forward to next winter (did I actually say that?) to try out different things.” Linda, ACAP Houlton, ME Marketing & Communications: Year in Review TRADITIONAL MEDIA We reached out to parents, teachers, and donors using a variety of methods with traditional media.

I cannot thank you enough for participating in a hugely successful 4th annual WinterKids Downhill 24! This event exceeded our wildest dreams, and we are thrilled to be able to reach even more kids in the coming year. From T-Rex on the mechanical bull to megasize mountain donuts to skiing under the lights for the first time in history to Sugarloaf nearly running out of beer (!), we had a blast---and by all accounts, you did too! Below you will find links to: event sponsors, WMTW Channel 8’s event coverage, team prize winners, the final All Sports timing results, our FB photo album, and the awesome video Sugarloaf created. You helped us raise $222,000 for WinterKids programs. Incredible! Did you know? • 383 people participated in the challenge? • Sugarloaf’s mountain ops team worked day and night with Pike Industries to place the lights on the trail? • The top 3 teams collectively raised nearly the same amount as the whole event in total last year? • The top fundraiser racked up $ 9,680 in donations? (Jeff Zachau is the man to beat!) • 17 people raised over $2,000 each individually? What does all of this mean? It means more kids will get outside and active more often in the winter (23,410 this year!). It means thousands of kids in the poorest, most rural corners of Maine will get outside with their teachers during the school day in Washington, Penobscot, Aroostook, Somerset and Franklin Counties. It means hundreds of kids new to winter will ride inflatable rafts down Portland’s Payson Hill at WinterKids’ Welcome to Winter. It means hundreds more families from all across Maine will get out at the mountains, the tubing parks, the skating rinks, and the cross country trails to learn new winter sports and build healthy, lifelong habits. It means enhanced WinterKids’ staff, board, and volunteer capacity to reach more kids. Thank you! On behalf of the WinterKids staff and board, thank you for making this year’s event fun, successful, and impactful for WinterKids. We are looking forward to 2017, and you can be sure we will let you know as soon as registration opens!

THE PROBLEM CHILDHOOD OBESITY IS INCREASING 28% of kids are overweight or obese when they enter Kindergarten in Maine and New Hampshire.* 2X Childhood obesity has doubled over the past 30 years for preschoolers and adolescents and more than tripled for children aged 6-11.** CHILDREN ARE LOSING THEIR CONNECTION WITH NATURE Children in the U.S. average just 30 minutes a week of unregulated time outdoors; however, their weekly electronic media exposure is almost 45 hours a week.** Unstructured outdoor activity is down by half from the previous generation.** The average American child can recognize 1,000 corporate logos, but can’t identify 10 plants or animals native to his or her own region.** THE SOLUTION GET OUTSIDE! GET ACTIVE! BE A WINTERKID! 15 YEARS 75,000 KIDS 16 COUNTIES AT SCHOOL MOVE! LEARN! EXPLORE! Increased outdoor physical activity builds healthy habits and increases concentration in the classroom.

Wow! Eric Kolben, President UBS In 2015, we built upon this success by reaching more kids than ever before! We also created a new strategic plan that will ensure WinterKids future sustainability and growth, including: an overhaul of the WinterKids Passport to help more families get active outside in the winter; expansion of our popular school program, The WinterKids Challenge, in Maine and New Hampshire; and, a change in venue for our signature winter fundraiser, The Downhill 24, to Sugarloaf in 2016. WinterKids will light up the ‘Loaf for the first time in history! All of this helps us to get more kids and families outside more often, improving health, increasing self-esteem, and enhancing connections to the outdoors.
