Bunny Rabbits Program Description
(Year of Birth: 2020-2021, ages 4-5)
Our Bunny Rabbits program is directed at children four and five years old (the ‘Active Start’ stage of athlete development). The program is designed to develop fundamental movement skills (with a focus on balance and agility), coordination, self-confidence, imagination and social skills. Parent attendance is generally required.
2025/26 Schedule & Fees
Practices: Sundays December 7th to March 8th (with a break over the holidays), 10:30 – 11:30 am at Whistler Olympic Park.
Registration: Opens on September 17, 2025 at 10am. Note that our program fills up quickly. Volunteer coaches will get priority registration for their kids.
Program Fee: $155 plus approx. $21 CCBC and Nordiq Canada Membership plus Sea to Sky Nordics Membership (approx. $60 family, required, can be purchased at time of registration). The program fee includes free entry into Coast and BC Cups.
Children 6 and under ski free at Whistler Olympic Park. Please note parents solely accompanying children for lessons do not need to buy a WoP pass, but if you plan to ski outside of lesson time, you will need to purchase a pass.
Program Schedule: Sessions will take place on Sundays from December 7th to March 8th (no sessions December 21st and 28th). The end of year banquet will be held on February 28th.
Events
Optional race events are a way for your child to test their ski skills out on the snow. We know a lot of kids are a bit tentative about racing, so registration includes entry fees for Coast and BC Cups. We hope kids come out and give them a try! Please see the event schedule here.
Equipment Required
Classic skis and boots only. Your child does not need poles for bunny rabbits (and will be asked to leave them behind if they bring them). Please see the parent handbook for more information about gear.
Parent/Guardian Volunteers
We are a community club and the success of our programs and events is built on parent participation. Each family is expected to make some volunteer contribution. We need volunteers in many roles, from coaching to parent helping, to assisting at an event, planning and administration roles and more. Information on volunteer roles can be found here.
