Pathfinders

Pathfinders Program

Ages 5-11  |  All skiing abilities

This program is designed to launch a life-long love for cross country skiing. Games, fun drills and experience will develop skills and confidence for skiers to take in any direction. Individuals will be encouraged to challenge their boundaries in a fun and supportive environment. Our team will focus on creating a positive and rewarding atmosphere for all to participate.

Five week sessions designed around age and ability create a supportive and fun atmosphere for children 5 to 11. Lessons are designed to introduce children to the techniques that will make a life time of skiing enjoyable.

All programs will be 2 hours in length and include indoor activities, visits to Josie's Cabin, special guests and other fun activities that support a love of a Nordic Lifestyle. Skiers in this program will work toward skiing in one of the events at the Lake Placid Loppet weekend or in the ADK Citizen Challenge Series events.
