The WinterKids Guide to Outdoor Active Learning has brought so much to our school, not just in ways that keep the children physically active but also in ways to keep them engaged socially and emotionally. Many of the activities are geared to get the children working together and becoming a team, no winners, no losers...just kids having fun.

Downhill 24
Downhill 24 is a 24-hour ski and ride challenge at Sugarloaf that supports WinterKids’ mission to get all Maine kids active outdoors in winter. Teams hit the slopes day and night, raising funds to help children move, learn, and explore through joyful winter play. It’s a celebration of community and the magic of Maine’s longest season. Ski. Ride. Raise. Repeat.
