U12 Flurries
ABOUT
The U10 Flurries program is for children aged 10-11 (as at Dec. 31, 2025) who want to be active, have fun, improve their skiing and enjoy the great outdoors.
It is the best of Adventure and Race, the perfect transition from Jackrabbits and a great introduction to all aspects of cross-country skiing.
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, relays etc. A highlight is an overnight adventure in the fall.
Ski sessions
The on-snow sessions focus on fitness and fun as skiers explore the Gatineau Park. The program develops technique and endurance in classic, skate and backcountry disciplines. Athletes will have a chance to experience local races, our mini-CSM challenge, the Cookie Beiner and to participate in the Norams weekend away.
