Head to Minneapolis to check out this year-round after-school initiative that gets middle schoolers hooked on outdoor activities like cross-country skiing, mountain biking, trail running, orienteering, and paddling—meeting 2-3 times weekly during the school year and summer breaks. The program works with schools that serve families facing financial barriers, offering participants chances to race competitively, explore weekend camping adventures, and join training expeditions while building strength, mental toughness, and lasting friendships. You'll develop real fitness and life skills that extend far beyond the trail.
