Larch Hills Nordics (LHN) volunteers are keen to provide an opportunity for School District #83 elementary school students and their teachers to gain familiarity with the Larch Hills trails through the LHN School Ski Host Program.
Up to three (3) ski sessions are available to each participating school class, usually one session per week. We aim for about 10 students per Ski Host Volunteer.
Membership in LHN is not required for students or teachers. There is a cost of $25/class/day. Payment will be by credit card, cash, or cheque. Online registration will opened at 7 am Thursday, December 1, 2023 on Zone4 with a limit of 5 classes at Larch Hills per day.
The School Ski Host Program began in January 2009. Students, Teachers and Larch Hills Ski Host Volunteers have participated each January since 2009. The number of young smiling skiers enjoying the Larch Hills trails continues to grow!
During the Larch Hills January – February 2023 Schools Ski Host season, 880 different students participated and 21 teachers from 12 local schools. 38 Larch Hills Nordics Volunteers hosted 2053 student visits! Thanks to Program Coordinator, Steve Rodwell for scheduling school class visits to Larch Hills and for teaming up Larch Hills Volunteer Ski Hosts for each class.
Thanks to these 38 cheerful Larch Hills Nordics Volunteers for hosting January and February 2023 School visits by young skiers!
