Kids' Ski Program

 

Weekends, snow, and children on skis! As much as we all enjoy skiing ourselves, the biggest reason Mt. Shasta Nordic has undertaken the operation of the Nordic Center is to ensure that this crowd has a place to enjoy cross country skiing in the near and distant future.

Designed to build enthusiasm for Nordic skiing in younger children, the weekly kids program is an instructional, non-competitive program that serves to teach kids ranging in age from 8-14 the fundamentals of Nordic skate skiing. It should be a great time for parents and kids alike to enjoy some fun on the snow!

Program begins Sunday January 13th at 11:00 am at the Nordic Center. Sessions should run about 1-2 hours, depending on the group and conditions. Parent involvement in essential, and we'll need a parent volunteer each week to help support the instructor and outfit the kids with gear. Please contact Laurel Harkness at (530)926-3935 or email laurel@mtshastanordic.org to sign-up to help.

This is a "drop-in" program, but we don't want to run out of gear so drop an email to laurel@mtshastanordic.com to let us know, even if you're not 100%, who is hoping to join us (plus age, height, shoe size).
