Nordic After School Program Registration Now Open

Registration is now open for the Bend Endurance Academy’s Nordic After School Programs, offering opportunities for skiers of all ages – from kindergarteners taking their first glides to adults fine-tuning their technique.

All sessions begin at Virginia Meissner Sno-Park, and participants provide their own skis, boots, and poles. Programs kick off in early January and run through late February, with offerings for every age and skill level.

Program Highlights:

• Mini Nordies (Grades K–1): Classic skiing only. A playful introduction focused on movement, social connection, and having fun on snow.
  Session 1: Jan 6–27 (Tues/Thurs) | Session 2: Feb 3–24 (Tues/Thurs, multiple times)

• Little Nordies (Grades 2–3): Classic skiing with games, skill building, and plenty of time to play outside.
  Session 1: Jan 6–28 (Tues/Wed) | Session 2: Feb 3–25 (Tues/Wed)
• Youth (Grades 4–5): Choose classic skiing (Session 1) or skate skiing (Session 2) – or both! Skill development, fun, and fitness for all levels.
  Session 1: Jan 7–28 | Session 2: Feb 4–25 (Wednesdays)
• Junior (Grades 6–8): Eight weeks alternating between classic and skate skiing. Designed for middle schoolers who are eager to learn, move, and explore on snow.
  Jan 7–Feb 25 (Wednesdays)
• Masters (Ages 18+):
  • Intro to Skate Skiing — Sundays or Wednesdays, Jan 4–Feb 25

  • Intermediate Skate — Thursdays, Jan 8–Feb 26
    Great for adults looking to learn or refine skate technique in a welcoming, coached setting.

“These programs are about getting outside, building community, and discovering how much fun Nordic skiing can be,” said Olivia Brumwell, Operations Director at Bend Endurance Academy. “We’re thrilled to welcome skiers back to Meissner for another great winter season.”
