Ski 4 Kids Day is a festive winter day full of events for children aged 0-14. Ski 4 Kids Day is a dual fundraising and awareness effort where obstacle courses, a mock-biathlon, and series of races tempt and tantalize kids of all ages. Even better, proceeds from the event directly benefit the Anchorage Parks and Recreation’s ski outreach program and an NSAA grant program with provides ski equipment to schools and youth organizations. The ultimate goal is to help develop an appreciation of winter outdoor sports and to promote fitness for Anchorage area youth!
Since the start up of the ski outreach program in 1995, thousands of kids have skied their way around Anchorage’s close-in trails, with 751 students and fifteen schools participating in 2008/09. Ski 4 Kids Outreach also works with other Anchorage organizations like McLaughlin Community Detention program, Southcentral Foundation, Boys and Girls Clubs, Alaska Children’s Services and Girl Scouts.
