Got kids? Do they want to learn the great sport of freeheel skiing? Then check out the Junior Nordic Program. The JNP is a progressive year-to-year program for Nordic skiing for kids starting at 4 years of age and going to high school. Now in its 13th year, the JNP helps turn about 75 kids per year into freeheel skiers. The JNP teaches classic, skate, and downhill on nordic gear, but it's much more than that. It's an all-round nordic adventure program that teaches kids the freedom of the hills.
Check out the JNP website, where you find lots more info, pictures, FAQs, and how to sign-up:

Junior Tele program:
This year we are adding a 4-week Junior Tele program. This is for kids who are already good (very good) nordic skiers but want to learn to tele. FYI we anticipate most kids will need to rent the no-wax metal-edged skis with the NNN binding/boots from the Summit Nordic center, so the teaching is geared towards that kind of gear.
