Dock Village sent this happy contingent of rollerblade and skateboard enthusiasts to Cheap Skates for a day of exercise and excitement.

In December, these Dock Village children and their chaperones tested their nerves, ankles, and various other body parts during a day of skiing and snowboarding at nearby Spring Mountain. Olympic skier Britt Swartley (in center, wearing sunglasses) was on hand to help novices get the hang of the sport.

Dock Village resident Ingrid Phelps and her children Stefan and Brianna put themselves and their skiing fortunes in the good hands of instructor and Olympian Britt Swartley.

Justin Rose and Islam Mohamed discovered at the Spring Mountain Ski Area that the thrill of snowboarding can also lead to an increased appreciation for just-plain sitting.

Dock Village Resident Services Coordinator Linda Beuerle (in center) got in on the skiing action, with a little help from friends Stefan Serious, Shaina Rose, Andre Sanders, and Janee Sanders.

Brooke Harvey, Janee Sanders, and Shaina Rose put their heads together in an effort to tame Spring Mountain.

Sean Davis tried using his snowboard like a luge, and found that falling off was generally less painful than falling down.

These fifteen five-year employees enjoyed some pre-Christmas celebrating at the annual luncheon. Three other five-year employees who didn’t make it into the picture were Carole Jefferies, and Tara Hagenbuch.

Students and Residents Meet
This winter, Dock Woods residents got together with members of the Christopher Dock faculty over breakfast to discuss ways of enhancing the interaction between CD students and Dock Woods residents. Helping to brainstorm on that occasion were Dock Woods representatives Jean Kuebler and J. Edward Moyer (on the left) and Christopher Dock teachers Tim Ehst and Stan Yoder.
