Biathlon / Triathlon
Another great way to motivate students and integrate a few activities is to hold a biathlon or triathlon. In the biathlon, students can apply their cross-country skiing or snowshoeing practice with a target activity, such as archery, golf, or even shooting free throws. In the triathlon, students must apply snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and skating in a race. Of course, depending on facilities and equipment, you can modify this to include any combination of activities. The important item is sparking student interest and getting them excited about participating in outdoor activities in the hopes that they will continue to participate after graduation.
