Junior Senders Program

Nordic Valley 6-Week “Junior Senders” Kids Ski & Snowboard Program

Looking for the best way to help your child progress on the mountain this winter? Our 6-week kids programs kick off Saturday, January 9, 2027! We have class options for both brand-new skiers and riders, and those looking to advance their skills. Whether your child is learning their first turns or sharpening their technique, they’ll build skills, confidence, and a love for winter at Nordic Valley!

These half-day lessons provide consistent coaching with the same instructor and group each week, so students develop stronger skills, more confidence, and lasting friendships. Parents can track progress with weekly report cards, while kids enjoy a structured, fun learning environment that includes a sack lunch each day. Give your child a season of growth with a 6-week ski or snowboard program at Nordic Valley.

Programs are open to ages 8 to 16. Pick Saturday or Sunday and a morning or afternoon session, then come back at the same time each week. Scroll down to find the right fit and get your skier or rider signed up! Check out our FAQs here for more info.
