Fridays at the Westford School, 3:00 - 4:30pm

Kids in grades 3 through 8 use the school's equipment or bring your own.

Kids in grades K through 2 must bring your own equipment (the school doesn't have equipment for this age group) and be accompanied by an adult.

 

Kids will be grouped by ability and age by the instructors. All groups will learn and practice new skills through games, instruction and touring. Kids who become proficient in classic ski technique will learn to skate ski. Last year all the kids tried skate skiing!

 

Ski club will only be cancelled if the weather is too bad to go outside (too cold or raining hard). If there is not enough snow for skiing, we will hike, orienteer, or play games outside. Our goal is to get kids outside in the winter.

 

We meet in the school gym after school and use the school common area as our indoor base. Parents must pick up their children in the common area by 4:30pm.

 

Willing to volunteer? We need a check-in person for ski club. You need to arrive at the common area at 4:15pm and check-in kids as they come back from skiing. Please e-mail Rosemary Shea at shearv@aol.com or call her at 878-4690 if you can help.
