Nordic Sports PEI Programs
Nordic Sports PEI is proud to offer a full range of programs, from introductory levels to the elite athlete level. We offer year-round training to our athletes including range work/techniques, roller skiing (in the summers), and a series of camps and clinics. Training sessions are usually offered twice a week.
We also offer recreational group skis, social events and workshops (how to wax, equipment care, and clothing). We are working to develop more programs and activities for all ages.
Nordic sports are lifetime sports. In fact, our athletes range from age 8 to over 50 and compete at all levels of competition. We are confident that our programs are appropriate for anyone interested in developing their fitness and discipline.
Looking to get involved in other ways? We are always looking for volunteers to assist with organizing and leading events and activities. Please contact Andrea Morrison with questions and for further information.

Long Term Athlete Development
Sport Canada’s Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) model is an inclusive concept that encourages all individuals to be involved in lifelong physical activity. LATD was developed by a group of leading sport scientists as a road map for physical and mental development, understanding that play is an essential ingredient in growing up, both physically and mentally.
LTAD articulates the need for all children, particularly those that have the capacity and interest to become elite athletes, to be given a solid foundation in physical, technical, tactical and mental capacities upon which to build their performance abilities.
Nordic Sports PEI follows Long Term Athlete Development as laid out by Nordiq Canada.
