 The Rec Program provides elementary school age kids with a fun learn-to-ski environment. This group meets once a week to play games on skis, get pointers on technique, and go out and play. This is a great way to introduce younger kids to cross-country skiing.While most Rec kids Classic ski, we do have a Skate group for skiers who would like to add this fun technique to their skills. The Rec. group meets on Fridays from 3:30, ready to ski!, to about 5 pm, depending on conditions, at Donna's HTC. Meeting depends on the weather and snow conditions: check the Friday Skier page or call the hotline 860-8401 before heading to Donna's.  We also hold a number of special events throughout the season. Check the Rec Plans page or the Calendar. Parents, and others, are welcome to ski as volunteer helpers. Skiing adults must sign up and be able and willing to help out as needed, joining a group or, if not needed initially, be watching for groups or kids who could use a hand: a child who needs ski or clothing help, a group that is spreading apart, a child who doesn't see their group, etc. A commitment of every week is not necessary. Races are available nearly every weekend for skiers to ski more, challenge themselves and make new friends! The Bill Koch Festival is a large fun event with clubs from all over New England, held in a different location every year. Check the Calendar. The program costs $50 for the winter. Fill out these forms and bring them to sign ups with your check, payable to Mansfield Nordic Club. Adults coming to skiing, need to sign the NENSA form. There is a $5 per child discount for signing up at sign ups on sign days. There is a $10 late fee for sign ups after Dec 1st. Scholarships are available if the fee would prevent participation in the program: please contact Jane Reny. |
