May is here, and summer is right around the corner! We like to try and stay one step ahead of things, and so with the start of Junior Spring Training this week, here is some info on the next season for planning purposes.
Junior Summer Training starts on June 21st, and runs through August 30th. You can read program descriptions (updated along with dates and links) on the page below:
All of our Junior programs are best suited to skiers with some prior rollerski experience (even just a little neighborhood practice). Additionally, a good base of aerobic fitness is recommended, as athletes in all summer programs will be engaging in strenuous exercise for at least 30+ minutes at a time, and routinely up to 60-90 minutes at a time.
For newer rollerskiers, we are targeting two “Learn to Rollerski” days (also open to Masters and BKL skiers) on Saturday, June 11th and on Saturday, July 9th on the bike paths and parking areas near Allen Brook School.
For advanced rollerskiers, please keep an eye on the NENSA Calendar for rollerski races at locations such as Craftsbury or App Gap. If you get your rollerski feet under you this month, check out NENSA’s great 25K in May event and look for an MNC day of 25 kilometers on rollerskis later this month.
With rollerski orders, summer camps (see below) and training all adding up, we’ve put together a page on Junior Yearly Expenses that we hope is helpful in planning and visualizing an entire picture of costs. This can be found under the “Juniors” tab on the MNC homepage. Our aim is to price our programs, camps, race support, and experiences reasonably. As our programs have grown in competitiveness on a regional, national, and international scale, we have added levels of support and trips that grow alongside our athletes.
Any and all MNC members can access our Scholarship page at this link, where information can be found on applying for financial support.
Keep an eye on the MNC homepage for the launch of summer registration pages!
