About
The Rocky Mountain Jackrabbit Ski Club, RMJSC, is a family-orientated, volunteer-run, Jackrabbit program designed to teach children aged 4 – 14 the joys of cross-country skiing. The cross country ski Club is based in Calgary and was formed in 1987. Weekly cross country ski sessions take place on Sunday afternoons from 1:00 – 3:00 p.m., January to March. The locations vary weekly but most are within the Calgary, Canmore and Kanansaskis areas. The basic principals for the program are:
- Have fun
- Learn to cross-country ski
- Introduce the importance of winter fitness
Children are divided into groups respective of their skiing ability and age. Each weekly session is planned and run by qualified, volunteer leaders. For the youngest group, Bunnies, a parent is required to ski with their child during the each session. If your child is older, you may be asked to assist on an occasional basis.
RMJSC participates in a few special events each year. Some of the events may include:
- Biathlon
- Loppetts
- Ski-in weekend
- Goat Creek Trail…
- and many more.
Please see our Winter 2011-2012 schedule for more details.
Parent involvement is essential for our group’s success! Parents are encouraged to seek volunteer positions that they excel at or are ready to challenge themselves with. Some of the volunteer positions include:
- Group leaders
- Assistant leaders
- Executive positions
- Coordinator of one or various social functions
- Collect money at skiing venues…
- and the list goes on.
Are you and your family ready to ski? If your answer is YES, then we would love for you to join Rocky Mountain Jackrabbits Ski Club! If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me.
