How does this program work?

For some students this the only access to winter sports, which is otherwise unattainable for their families.
Who can participate in this program? This program is tailored to 3rd - 5th grades.
Where is this program offered? The program is offered 30 days throughout the winter at SWEP's yurt, which is located at the Tahoe Cross Country Center. Classes are encouraged to participate up to two times each winter season.
