PORTILLO
SKI CENTRE, CHILE
Activities for Kids & Teens
Portillo
is a great place for kids. Not only will they meet other kids to hang
out with, they will also find tons of activities to keep them busy, either
on their own or supervised by one of our trained kids entertainment
coordinators. Our staff is trained to take good care of children at all
times. We even feature a kids menu, which makes dining a whole lot
easier for parents. Our coordinators plan events such as scavenger hunts,
dancing, arts and crafts, bread baking, volleyball or soccer, foosball
or ping pong. Kids love our game room and our full-court gymnasium, and
parents really enjoy being able to spend a little more "adult time"
together and focus on each other more than they are normally able to.
We offer
free daycare (3 to 7 years old), childrens afternoon activities,
a large game room, a full-court gymnasium, cinema, kids ski school,
Thursday race day with prizes awarded in the evening.
Families
of four to six people will find our "family apartment" rooms
to be very convenient. We also offer doubles with connecting doors.

KIDS
CAMP Portillo's
Ski School offers a special ski and snowboard program for children ages
4 to 6 called Kids Camp. Kids Camp is designed to introduce
little ones to snow and skiing or snowboarding. This entertaining program
functions from Sunday to Friday, 10am to noon and/or from 2:30pm to 4:30pm.
The hours
also permit parents to take their own ski or snowboard classes if they
wish to do so. Children younger than 4 may take private classes, and children
over 7 can take either private classes or join a group class.
KIDS
RACE Every
child who participates in Kids Camp is automatically enrolled in
a Thursday race designed especially for them. This event is supervised
by Kids Camp instructors and takes place on the El Corralito or
El Puma run, depending on the childs ability level. Kids who can
handle El Puma are also suggested to join Portillos main race, the
Sol de Portillo. In the evening, we host an awards ceremony and give out
medals, making both kids and parents proud.

PORTILLOS
DOGS Portillo
has been home to generations of Saint Bernards, who love to play with
kids or just flop out in the lobby. Sometimes they even like to hang out
in the disco!
Our entertainment
department plans a daily special program for kids that can include a tour
of the hotel, bread-baking classes, a treasure hunt, and other fun activities.
Kids are never left without anything to do!
GAME

favorite hangout for kids of all ages is our spacious game room. Our enormous
game room has ping-pong, pool, foosball and video games. Inside the game
room we have a snack bar offering ice cream, candy and soft drinks. At
