Premiere Childcare Programs

What comes with being the “premiere family destination?” Premiere childcare programs. Allow us to watch your kids for the day so you can be a kid at heart on the mountain, with nothing to worry about other than dropping your little ones off in the morning and picking them up in the evening.

MAKE A RESERVATION

Located at the Golf Course, Northstar’s childcare facility  is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. with free parking and a free shuttle to get parents to and from the mountain with ease.

Bring your 2 to 6-year-old to camp in the morning, take the free shuttle to the mountain, and then head back whenever you’re ready on that same free shuttle. We’ll handle the rest, keeping your child busy with tons of fun indoor and outdoor activities throughout the day so that he or she will hardly even realize you’re gone until you’ve already returned.
