Cross Country Ski Adventure

Are you looking for an adventure for your high school students?  This cross-country ski tour of our spring creek trail system will not disappoint!  We'll even come to your classroom first to discuss the day and help you and your class prepare so there are no surprises.  Once we hit the groomed trail network, your program will include:

  • a skills lesson to introduce the equipment and basic movements
  • an 8.3 km ski to help them hone their skills
  • a stop at our Willow Creek hut to warm up, light a fire, and cook their meal over a wood stove
  • discussion on topics of survival, wildlife adaptations and tracking, seasonal change, and winter trail etiquette

Cross country ski equipment is provided at the Visitor Center.  Let us inspire your students to get outside and adventure in our Canadian winters!
