CCSC Nordic Rocks Program part of USA’s FIS SnowKidz Awards
|
Since 2007 the FIS SnowKidz program has focused on bringing a new generation of youth to snow sports. Today SnowKidz has over 500 organizers in 45 countries. The FIS SnowKidz awards seek to highlight the top programs in the world.
This year Sweden's Everyone on Snow! Program was the clear winner receiving a record setting 321 points. There was a tie for second place between Finland’s Snow Moves! and Greece’s Seek a Snowflake programs both receiving 293 points.
USA's entry with CXC’s Nordic Rocks program was a close fourth receiving 290 points.
Contestants were evaluated on five first priority criteria and two secondary criteria. First priority criteria were worth twice the points of second priority criteria. First priority criteria included successful initiative, high project quality, evolution of program, transferability to other National Ski Associations and long-term enthusiasm. Second priority criteria included commercial viability and promotional value.
We’re honored to be considered among the top programs in the world. We started our Nordic Rocks program in 2014 and we currently partner with over 200 schools and have over 20,000 participants. (Including our own CCSC Ski Club!)
We look forward to continuing to improve and expand our program in the months and years to come!

Thank you for all you do to help make this club a great place for kids and families, alike.

Nordic Rocks
Nordic Rocks! Our CCSC program to help local elementary children experience the thrill and fun of sliding on snow.
Nordic Rocks outreach program
An important goal of CCSC is to engage our local elementary youth in participating in outdoor recreation. The Nordic Rocks program is a pipeline to connect youth with winter programming that promotes health, fitness, and a lifelong passion for winter activities. We work in partnership with local public and private schools and organizations. We want our youth in our five county region to experience the joy, the fun and the sense of accomplishment that comes from sliding and playing on snow.
Please consider being a program sponsor and donating to the program or purchasing a pair of Nordic Rocks skis on our donation page. Thank-You.
