Skis for Schools Program
The goal of the Skis for Schools program is to create opportunities for children to be actively engaged outside through the enjoyment of cross-country skiing.
A warm welcome is extended to schools and community programs that wish to use our inventory of ski equipment on the Kichi Sibi Winter Trail. This program has been made possible through generous donations to the Kichi Sibi Winter Trail organization and its volunteers.
Details
Situated in the "Nordic Village" at Remic Rapids parking lot, we are ideally located to use our ski equipment along the beautiful (and groomed for classic and skate skiing) Kichi Sibi Winter Trail.
A $5 donation for each set of equipment that is borrowed would be greatly appreciated. If this is a barrier for your group, please let us know.
As part of a booking, you are responsible for providing the boot size and ski length for each child in your group. Check the Equipment tab for helpful sizing guidelines and then match your needs up with our boot and ski equipment inventories.
While we would love to offer ski instruction with your visit, we are not yet set up to do so. The good news is that cross country skiing is an easy skill to learn, and having the opportunity to try it out is the best way to get started!
Donations
Skis for Schools will gratefully receive your cross-country ski equipment (waxless skis, NNN boots and bindings only, please) to add to our inventory.
Note: We have recently switched to the industry standard NNN binding system.
Donations may be dropped off at the Reception Desk at Dovercourt Recreation Centre, 411 Dovercourt Avenue.
Financial donations in support of the Skis for Schools Program may be made on the donation page of the Kichi Sibi Winter Trail website (wintertrail.ca).
Our Volunteers are Amazing!
The Skis for Schools program is thankful for the support of our dedicated team of volunteers who help get kids geared up, out on the Trail, and having fun outdoors in Winter.
