Vipers Hit the Slopes

Friday morning to Saturday afternoon, Vanguard held its first snowboarding trip open to Vipers who are proud to be Drug and Alcohol Free.

The students and staff departed around 8:30 on Friday morning on their way to Portage, Wisconsin's Cascade Resort. Later, the gang headed to their cabin in Warrens, Wisconsin for a night of swimming, watching movies, and relaxing.

Mr. Kain explained the day's schedule to every one.

Instructors split every one up into 3 groups: Beginners, intermediate, and snowboarders.
