WINTER TRAINING AND SUMMER PLANNING!


Follow Us On

We hope everyone is enjoying the off-water season in whatever way gets you outside and keeps you moving. We are always busy sliding around on whatever we can: skates, skis, toboggans or cardboard in a pinch. We help out our local lions with the skating rink, our local high school with some grooming on their track for the nordic ski team, and generally have no lack of things to do. If you’d like to keep in touch and see what we’re up to, we track our activities on Strava - follow us, and we’ll follow you. We’d love to see what you’re up to. These are links to some of our Strava profiles: Kathy McCarthy, Jeremy Fowler, Lily Baker.


FREE CROSS TRAINING

Join Lily for some Free CROSS TRAINING

We have some exciting news! Lily Baker, one of our experienced rowing coaches, has decided to launch a once-a-week bootcamp-style class over Zoom this February & March -- you can join from home! These FREE sessions will be a fun way to move together through the winter and also enable Lily to build her group fitness experience as she was recently certified as a Group Fitness Instructor through Canfitpro. Click here to let Lily know what kinds of workouts you might be interested in attending and what times work best for you!


SUMMER EVENTS

Once it’s dark, we are busy planning our next adventures! No need to mark your calendars yet, as the calendar is still taking shape. In February, we will be sending out a survey so you can help us design any changes to this year’s challenges and events.

FEBRUARY SURVEY FOR SUMMER ACTIVITIES WILL BE POSTED NEXT MONTH!


UNTIL NEXT MONTH - Get your winter glide on! If you have a pause and want to let us know what you’ve been up to this season, we always love updates info@hatchetsrowing.com.

These are some of the members of our kid’s incredible cross country ski team, the Arrowhead Race Crew. It is a super fun and positive bunch of athletes led by their coaches, who are the definition of the coaches you would want in your kid’s lives - Holly and Jon Strickland of the Arrowhead Nordic Ski Club. We are so lucky to have these coaches and this facility in our larger community. https://www.arrowheadnordic.ca/programs/arc
