Camp Info
This three week class is available currently for kids ages 7 to 13. They will meet at Detroit Mountain and ski on the Nordic ski trails there. We will be teaching classic technique with an eye towards giving them the skills to easily skate ski later. Limited skis are available for use with signup; we will do our best to get them into a close size but may not be exact.
**For kids older than 13 we encourage them to join the middle school ski program after school and we aren’t setup this year for kids younger than 7. We found that the 2.5 hour format was too long for them and they required one on one coaching the entire session No age exceptions will be made.
DATE: Sunday Jan 11th 1:30-4:00
Feb 1st there will be a ski event the kids can take part in at Tamarac refuge using their skills built up at the class.
TIMES: are 1:30 pm to 4:00 pm. We suggest arriving by 1:15 to get ready to ski at 1:30.
COST: $20 per child/ Max of $40 per family. This includes use of skis while at practice. Skis are to remain at DMRA and may not be taken home after the camp.
We will meet at the Nordic building at DMRA (not the main ski lodge) each Sunday for the ski school. This is in the back corner of the parking lot at the xc ski/bike trailheads.
Pay and register day of the event. Cash or card are accepted.
PARENT SKI: Parents, we want you to learn too! If you are interested in coming along AND participating (yes, you will fall down) please feel free to join us. You’ll learn too!
VOLUNTEERS: This is an entirely volunteer run program. All proceeds go towards buying more skis for next year! We need parents to help out- regardless of ski skill! (You must have skis on to be on the trail) We need both extra adults with each group, and also a parent back at the building in case someone is having an extra rough day and doesn’t want to stay with their group.
Groups will leave to go on the trails at 1:30, so please arrive early and be ready to go at 1:30. More information on clothing requirements and suggestions as well as weather policies will be sent out to registered participants. We suggest arriving by 1:15.
