The Reforestation Camp received about 3 inches of snow last night topped off with a nice March rain for the day….perfect snowman making snow I guess. We are really unsure right now what the trails will be like this weekend. Grooming this snow may be very difficult. Maybe we will get lucky and have some snow on Friday and falling temperatures.
Regardless of the trail conditions, we will have our end of the year potluck and grill out for all…Adults and Kids included. Bay Nordic has the shelter reserved for all the families and the grill will be fired up for hamburgers and hot dogs (we need a few grill masters!). Anyone who wishes to help set up and/or contribute to the potluck, please contact Jennifer.
The stars of the day will be the kids. If we have skiing, the annual kids race/tour will be the focus of the session (a make-up for the Stump Farm cancellation). Courses will be set for the groups based on experience and ability, ranging from approximately 1 to 4 km. All participants will earn their "Bay Nordic" medal upon completion. Encourage the kids to have fun with this event, it's their time to show off. Parents…help cheer the kids on, bring your cow bells!
As a backup plan, we will set up a foot race for the kids…thinking obstacles, through the woods, whatever creativity we can put together to have a fun event and have the kids earn their Bay Nordic medals.
We plan on monitoring the ski trail conditions through Friday evening and will keep everyone informed on how to prepare for the day.
Schedule of Events:
- Session Rental pickup by 9:45am
- Check-in by 9:50 am. Kids need to be ready to go at 10 am.
- 10:00 to 10:45am. Group warm-up followed by short session with coaches. Coaches will then lead the groups to the start of the race and help out with getting the kids moving
- Start at 10:45 until completion….time for some treats!
- If we are forced to do a non-skiing event. The warm-up will be shortened and the "race" start will be moved up.
Hope to see everyone on Saturday….Think Snow!
