Stevenson Youth Program 
The Stevenson Youth Program (SYP) is designed to foster a lifelong appreciation for the sport of cross country skiing, a love for the outdoors, and a basic understanding of our amazing winter environment. In the SYP skiers in 2nd through 5th grade, (ages 7-11) will participate in a 3 day Winter Camp followed by 10 Saturdays, 10 Sundays, and/or 10 Wednesdays of progressive, age appropriate activities that will develop their XC skiing skills, fitness, environmental awareness, and love for the outdoors in a safe, fun, and challenging environment. SYP participants are offered a fun, safe environment where they can play group games, embark on trail adventures, experiment with racing, learn how to take care of their equipment and ski in small groups based on age, focus and ability.   More...

Again For 2010-2011:  Flexible Classic and Skating Sessions. It is critical that these young skiers have successful skiing experiences and at times the weather in the Cascades can make that a challenge. To accomplish this, MBSEF will announce the schedule of classic and skating sessions by email and on the MBSEF Nordic Calendar (based on weather reports, grooming, etc.) before each weekend. There does come a point where skiers need to learn to ski in all conditions, but at this age our number one goal is help the skiers find success and have fun.

The program offers an accommodating schedule where skiers can choose 1-4 sessions per week with session options on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. 3 day Thanksgiving and Winter Camps are included at no charge.  Over the course of the season, skiers will follow a progressive program designed to develop their physical fitness, knowledge of the sport, and classic and skating technique.   More...
