Over 180 kids participated in the Yukon Nordic School Challenge on March 25! Ten schools, including Carmacks and Carcross, came for a fun day of skiing. Fourteen (14) mixed school teams went through different activity stations, including sit- skiing and blind relays, in the morning. All were treated to a free lunch from our sponsors Grey Mt. Lions Club and Tim Hortons. After lunch came the sprint racing component of the day. Everyone went home with smiles on their faces and a hat from Cross Country Canada!
Thank you to all the volunteers who made the day a success!
