Welcome to our Nordic Ski Camp! We're all about having fun while learning the basics of cross-country skiing in an exciting and playful setting. Designed especially for kids aged 4 to 15, our camp is packed with cool games and activities to help young skiers build their skills. Our friendly team of volunteers, who have decades of experience in both recreational and competitive skiing, are here to offer guidance and support, making sure everyone has a great time while learning. We can't wait to hit the trails with you! We recommend that children dress in warm clothing, as they will be outdoors for up to an hour at a time. Ski equipment (skis bindings boots and poles) will be provided for use during the camp, but if you have your own equipment, please bring it! We have limited sets and would love to provide for everyone. Rest assured, snacks and breaks will be available in a cozy, heated indoor space to keep everyone comfortable and refreshed.

The Little Falls Dance Team is excited to offer our Summer Dance Program for students entering grades 7–12 from the Little Falls, Royalton, and Pillager school districts. This program is open to current team members as well as students interested in joining the LFDT Winter Dance Team. All experience levels are welcome—from beginners to seasoned dancers. Our dedicated coaching staff works with each dancer to develop strong foundational skills while improving technique, endurance, strength, and flexibility in a supportive and inclusive environment. This is a great opportunity to grow as a dancer, build confidence, and connect with the LFDT community. In addition to the summer league, we offer optional private dance camps that require an additional fee. Examples include private camps with collegiate teams, for example, an SCSU Dance Team camp. These camps are not required for participation in the summer program, but do require a separate payment, based on the private camp fee. When possible, we schedule private camps on the same days as summer league practices to help keep schedules convenient. Because these opportunities are optional, only dancers who choose to participate are responsible for the additional cost, and no 'regular' practice will be held on those days. Dates and times for these opportunities will be shared directly from coaches. Dancers who participate in optional private camps or parades will need to purchase the LFDT tank top and shorts, which are reused each summer. These items are not included in the summer league fee, as those activities are optional.All athletes are expected to provide their own pair of jazz shoes and athletic lace up tennis shoes for practice. We recommend the tan Bloch Pulse Jazz Shoe from https://shop.justforkix.com. You can also reach out to coaches for questions about shoes. lfdt2019@gmail.com Join us this summer to train, improve, and be part of a positive and welcoming dance team experience!
