General InfoThe Bunnyrabbit and Jackrabbit programs are the first steps in Club Viking's youth programs. These programs offer a balance between learning ski techniques and playing games. Games range from soccer on skis to obstacle courses. These activities allow kids to get comfortable on skis while learning basic techniques. Part of the course takes place on the pond and in the snow park, where kids practice specific skills. The second part takes place in the forest, on the ski trails, where skiers put skills into practice and work on their endurance. The Arrow program is for Viking JR graduates who are looking for an initiation to racing. The Arrows team generally participates in 2-3 races during the season, in both classic and freestyle. The program focuses on perfecting skiing techniques and encourages athletes to set themselves personal challenges, while emphasizing team spirit. The fall program, with training on dry land, is recommended for skiers wishing to join the Arrows group. The Challenge program is a continuation of the Viking JR program for older skiers with good endurance who want to improve their technique while enjoying recreational activities. The program is organized so that skiers work with their instructor to decide on the group's challenges and how to tackle them. This group explores a large part of the club's trails on longer tours. All programs are in English and French. |
