Children's Learn to Ski Program
The goal of our children's learn to ski program is to introduce children to cross country skiing as a lifelong sport that can best be enjoyed once the basic skills and techniques have been mastered. Fun and games are the major component of the program, with children grouped by age and ability.
Priority will be given to children whose parent(s) commit to being a group leader. The Jackrabbits program is a volunteer run program and we rely heavily on volunteer leaders to run each group. Training is available for parents who are committed to leading a group.
Children who participate in the program are eligible for our ski equipment package at $60.00. Please note: rental equipment is not guaranteed as it is based on existing inventory and will be first come, first served on rental equipment pick up date - to be confirmed for Fall 2017. In the event that you have paid for rental equipment and we are unable to fulfill your request, you will receive a refund for your rental fee.
