Winter '22 School Field Trips at the Nordic Center

This winter Mt. Shasta Nordic Center had the pleasure of welcoming kids from Pre-K, Elementary, and Middle Schools from around Shasta, Siskiyou, and Jefferson Counties for snow-filled field trips.

It was a blast hosting local kiddos and introducing them to the sport of Nordic skiing. The children enjoyed gearing up and sliding on the snow, with plenty of falls and fumbles in between. It was a good time all around and we can’t wait to see all of those smiling faces again next winter!

If you’d like to sign your school up for a Nordic Center field trip next winter, contact Mandy and she’ll take your information down!
