Winter is upon us here in Chicago, and some of you may be lured downtown to Millenieum Park to go Ice Skating.   You need special insurance to cover you in case you injure yourself while Ice Skating or doing any number of sports ( see partial list below) .  If you do not have the Sports insurance and get injured doing one of these sports, insurance will NOT pay the hospital bill, you will be responsible for it.  If you do not know what type of insurance you have, call your counselor and she can tell you.

The Sports Insurance Package was available pre-departure and may also be purchased at any time during your year. It takes effect within 48 hours of your enrollment and it is good for the remainder of the year. The cost will be the same whether you have one month left or your whole year ahead of you.   Below is a partial list of sports that are only covered with the sports insurance package:
Football, Rugby, Scuba diving, Wakeboarding, Skydiving, Parachuting, Rock climbing, Zip line, Skate boarding, Rollerblading, Roller skating, Ice Skating, Skiing, Snowboarding, Snowmobiles & Snowshoeing.
