Our Ski Education curriculum
Our curriculum is designed to offer place-based learning experiences in the outdoors, while incorporating elements of the Next Generation Science Standards within each activity. It supports experiential learning and offers a unique supplemental educational opportunity for students. We strive to provide an education experience that is adaptable and engaging for grades 3rd-12th. For K-2 graders, our program teaches students the basics of cross-country skiing and fosters an appreciation of the stunning environment and all the critters who call Crosscut home.
