A reminder to PARENTS/GUARDIANS who have not submitted the Booster Club Registration Worksheet.  Please process the worksheet as soon as you know your student will participate in the Nordic program.  We need your email address and student's name so we can support you, your student and the coaching staff.  Deadlines are approaching fast, and we need to start tasks immediately.  The Booster Club is operated by volunteers, and we would appreciate prompt cooperation and attention to the details, so we can be efficient and add value to the program.  Please call a Booster Club Officer if you have ANY questions. Our contact information is HERE and also permanently linked on the blogsite.

If you missed the 11/6 informational meeting or need a refresher, here is the presentation and handout.

Monday, November 6, 2017

Everyone interested in participating in the Champlin Park Nordic ski program is encouraged to attend. The program is for 6th-12th graders.

Booster Club Registration Form for the 2017-2018 Nordic Season is HERE.  Please print clearly and bring it to the meeting. Also bring your check book so you can purchase apparel, rentals, and ski passes. We will also accept pre-orders for the team t-shirt and a new item...a team hooded sweatshirt.

If you can't make the meeting, the PowerPoint presentation and meeting materials will be linked on the blogsite shortly after the meeting.
