Bunny Rabbits
ABOUT
The Bunny Rabbit program is designed to introduce children four and five years of age to the sport of cross-country skiing.
At Chelsea Nordiq, we offer an 8-week program in which children learn cross-country skiing basics through games and activities. Our focus is on offering a fun, positive experience in a small group setting. We engage ‘junior coaches’ to enthusiastically guide the young skiers through their lessons.
A big highlight is the end of season Jamboree – fun activities, hot chocolate and maple taffy make for a winning recipe.
