Come join Midcoast Conservancy and Colby College's Nordic ski team at Hidden Valley Nature Center in Jefferson for a Skate Ski Clinic on Sunday, Jan. 8. The clinic will run from 10 a.m. to noon. Skiers will be instructed by over 15 coaches (Colby Racers), including the Mules’ head coach Tracey Cote. There will be three levels of instruction during the clinic: intro to skate skiing, advanced technique, and focus on improving speed and efficiency. Ages 7-16 are welcome to attend. This is a free clinic, and registration is required. Please go to www.midcoastconservancy.org to register.

Logistics for getting to the Barn at HVNC include a half-mile ski/walk/snowshoe in. Parents are encouraged to accompany skiers to clinic and then enjoy the Nature Center on their own until the clinic concludes. Call or email Midcoast Conservancy with any questions: 389-5150 or info@midcoastconservancy.org.
