Mission of WinterKids
WinterKids helps children develop healthy lifelong habits through fun, outdoor winter activity.
History of WinterKids
WinterKids began in 1997 as part of Ski Maine Association with one program for 5th graders. We quickly saw the increasing rates of childhood obesity and the downward trend in physical fitness in Maine and across the country, and recognized the opportunity to help children and families enjoy healthy and fun outdoor winter lifestyles.
In 2000, WinterKids became an independent nonprofit organization, and throughout the years we’ve developed and delivered effective programs that meet this challenge. We get kids outdoor and active in the winter– and we make a difference!
