Adventure Rabbits U12
ABOUT
The Adventure Rabbits U12 program is for children aged 10-11 (as at Dec. 31, 2024) who want to be active, have fun, improve their skiing and enjoy the great outdoors.
The program consists of two parts: i) dry-land activities and ii) ski sessions
Dry-land sessions
An excellent way to develop fitness, experience a variety of activities, learn new skills and have fun in the outdoors with friends. Activities include: hiking, games, trail running, orienteering, biking, geocaching etc…. A highlight is a local overnight excursion in the fall.
Ski sessions
The on-snow sessions focus on fitness and fun as the young skiers explore the Gatineau Park with friends, old and new. The program develops technique and endurance in classic, skate and backcountry skiing disciplines.
Highlights include the Cookie Beiner, our mini-CSM challenge and an overnight or weekend excursion.
