A physical trail groomed in winter (snow permitting) for public use.
2. Club membership supports operation of our winter trail, supports us as a Cross Country Ski Ontario-sanctioned nordic ski club, supports the sport at the local, provincial and national level through Nordiq Canada, and offers members the benefit of access to the club’s ski equipment. Because we believe strongly in the benefits o
f getting kids on skis, and in giving back to our community, our equipment is available free of charge to local schools on weekdays. But beyond that, our equipment is restricted to club members’ use. The bulk of our equipment is sized for children and youth, and offers club members a great way to introduce their children to Nordic skiing, as well as providing a great alternative to constantly replacing equipment for growing kids! We have far less adult-sized equipment, and it is suited for allowing adults to try the sport, and helping them to gauge their interest and level of commitment to it, before outfitting themselves with their own equipment, rather than as an alternative to getting outfitted. It is available to our adult club members to help them get up and running, but they will be far more comfortable and progress much better with their own equipment geared specifically to them and their needs. To become a member go to https://zone4.ca/register/, search for Kemptville Winter Trail’s registration form, and complete it online. All memberships are individual, and cover one adult (18+) and any children (17 & under) they may have. We have an ongoing need for board members to help govern and develop our organization, and for club volunteers to help with our ski lending program, special events, trail grooming and other member benefits such as social ski outings and lessons. If you would like to help us function and grow, please join us as a registered club member, and send an email to [email protected] telling us how you can help!
