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 the young ones have 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!

The program is held on Sundays at 11:00am at the Nordic Center. Sessions should run about 1-2 hours, depending on the group and conditions. Kids can participate in one or all of the sessions.

There are no fees to participate - everyone is welcome. Mt Shasta Nordic does have a limited supply of skate gear for kids. If you intend to borrow gear for the program, please write in advance to laurel@mtshastanordic.org. Include the child's name, age, height, and shoe size.

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) 859-9168 or email laurel@mtshastanordic.org for more information or to sign-up to help.
