Midcoast Conservancy Youth Cross Country Ski clinic
Youth Cross-country Ski Clinic Begins January 6
There are still openings for Midcoast Conservancy’s winter Youth Cross-country Ski Clinic starting Saturday, January 6th and running 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 is available 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. The final fitting session is on January 3rd at the HVNC Welcome Center from 4-6 pm. Gear is available to rent weekly before class at the Welcome Center at HVNC (for parents too!).
