Paralympic Nordic Camp

Friday-Sunday, January 8-10, 2010

Our First Nordic Camp - A Paralympic Experience - was tons of fun! We had athletes learning to cross country ski both sitting down and standing up!

Volunteers attended clinics led by Paralympic Medalist Candace Cable, Tamarack Instructor Jane Lester and Coach Marc Mast. Our athletes joined us Saturday and Sunday for two gloriously sunny days of cross country skiing around the Lower Lakes Basin. We are all so excited about our new and growing adaptive Nordic program.
