Bunnyrabbits  (Ages 4-6) -  Our youngest skiers learn the basics of cross country skiing in a supportive atmosphere of fun, family, coaches and friends.  Balance, coordination and a love of winter and snow are emphasized, while learning key skills through games and exploration. 

Jackrabbits (Ages 7 - 10) -
A progressive program emphasizing solid classical technique leading to more advanced skating techniques.  Skills are learned through a combination of games, group activities and skill lessons.

Track Attack
 (Ages 11-14) - A program for children who are either preparing to race or are interested in learning to improve as skiers with an emphasis on skating technique.  Track Attack targets include both skill and participation goals including races, rollerskiing, dryland camps, a winter ski camp and orienteering.

Hilltoppers XC Junior Team  (U23) - For advanced skiers who would like to primarily focus on racing and advanced technique.  Skiers will participate in both local and regional events and take on leadership roles on the team. Junior skiers participate in the USSA-CXC Great Lakes District.
