Last Day BKL Photos!

BKL kids gather before the hunt begins!

BKL kids gathered for our last day on 3/16. All the groups hunted for chocolate eggs hidden on the trails. Following this, coaches awarded them with “edible medals” and various “paper-plate” awards. Finally, many roasted marshmallows over the fire pit in front of the Walker Building.

We want to take this opportunity to say “Thanks” to all the parents for giving us the opportunity to ski with your kids. All of us coaches had a blast and we hope your kids did too! Thanks for getting them outfitted with equipment, getting them to practice on time and picked up afterwards. It was so much fun to watch them all improve their ski skills over the winter. We hope to see you all back next year!

A sampling of the paper plate awards!

“Edible Medals” made out of gingerbread!

BKL Practice 3/14 & 3/16- Last Week

Tuesday, 3/14, Everyone Classic, Penguins’ Last Day

A Leprauchan came and hid some things for BKL kids to find! Let’s just say, these are funny looking shamrocks! But then again, you never should trust a leprauchan! We will go for a tour and hunt down those items and may the luck of the Irish be with us all!

Penguins will also do a hunt, play some games and have a little last day celebration.

Thursday, 3/16. Skate. Awards day for Jack Rabbits, Arctic Foxes, Racers & Devos

It’s our last day of BKL for the season. We will play some games and then do our end of season Awards (4:45 pm).

Parents: Does anyone have a metal, transportable fire pit they can bring for Thursday and set-up? Email me at sheacobb19@gmail.com. I have some bags of marshmallows and I thought it would be fun for the kids to roast them today. There is firewood at the Range but not a lot of kindling.

*There is a possibility that the Range may be open for open skiing on 3/21 & 3/23. Open skiing means that you can bring your kids and ski with them that day (kids may not ski un-accompanied). Keep an eye on our website & the e-blast for news of this.
