At Chester Bowl, we believe that every family should be able to learn to ski or snowboard and attend summer camp regardless of their family income. That’s why we offer full or partial scholarships based on need. This winter we will award $26,216 in winter scholarships.

Unfortunately, there are more requests for scholarships than we can grant. Last winter we received over $57,000 in requests- there are so many families that want to be part of our programs but just can’t afford it.

You can help! We have several different ways that you can support the Scholarship Fund and help ensure that any family can be part of Chester Bowl’s programming. Every dollar raised goes directly to support families with scholarships.

Fall Fest: Our annual Fall Fest event was on Saturday, September 19, 2026. It is a free event, but donations at the entrance were accepted, and directly support our scholarship fund. In 2025, because of the community’s generosity, we raised a record $12,250!

Warren Miller Screening & Silent Auction: We will be presenting the latest Warren Miller film this November! Along with the movie premiere, we will have an online auction packed full of art, gifts, and all the gear you need to have a great winter Details and ticket to come.
