The Riverview Community Club is home to a great ski club for children aged 5 to 12.

The Riverview Jackrabbits Cross-Country Ski Club meets on Sundays from 1 to 2 p.m. from mid November until mid March. The program is designed for fun; children learn developmental skills and through games and play learn to enjoy and appreciate the lifelong sport of cross-country skiing.  Lessons include a warm up session, a teaching component, games and plenty of opportunities to ski and explore.  Hot chocolate is served to all after each session, and parents are encouraged to participate along with their children.

Sessions take place on groomed trails behind the community club, as well as on Churchill Parkway.  Participants are responsible for providing their own equipment, however the club does own a limited supply of equipment that is rented out to participants.

The Jackrabbit Ski Program is affiliated with Cross Country Canada (www.cccski.com) and the Cross Country Ski Association of Manitoba  (www.ccski.mb.ca) Since the inception of Jackrabbit ski clubs nationally in 1980, over 125, 000 Canadian children have participated in Jackrabbit programs.

The registration fee is $50.00.  Registration occurs during the winter sports registration period.  As the Riverview Community Club supports the ski club, priority is given to in-area (Riverview) residents.  If you wish to learn more about the Riverview Jackrabbits, E-mail rvcc.jackrabbits.xcski@gmail.com .
