Midcoast Conservancy will be offering its winter Youth Cross-country Ski Clinic starting Saturday, January 6th through Saturday, February 10th, from 9:30 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. at Hidden Valley Nature Center in Jefferson.
The six session Youth Cross Country Ski Clinic for kids ages 5-14 is the perfect setting for skiers of different levels to gain skills and confidence while enjoying HVNC’s trails. Instructors use creative, non-competitive methods to get the skiers out on the trails having fun each week.
Cost is $70 for members and $80 for non-members. Space is limited so families are encouraged to register as soon as possible. Registration opens December 8th online at https://bit.ly/youthxcclinic.
Midcoast Conservancy offers youth ski lease packages–skis, boots and poles that kids can use all winter wherever they might choose to ski. Ski lease fitting sessions begin this Saturday, December 9th, from 10 am to noon at the CLC YMCA in Damariscotta. Another session will be held at the YMCA on Tuesday, December 12, from 4-6 pm.
