The NSCF has participated in many joint projects with the FNSB and Fort Wainwright over the past 40 years. To our credit, these efforts have resulted in continual improvements to the facilities, trails and equipment at the Birch Hill complex. Projects require funding and those dollars come through our efforts to secure grants and donations from both the public and private sectors in Alaska.

This year the NSCF is asking the State of Alaska for FY2014 capital budget grants totaling $4.5M. These funds would be used for:

• Trail system, equipment and building maintenance and upgrades.
• New building construction and old building removal.

Several of the upgrades are important for hosting the upcoming Arctic Winter Games in March of 2014. The Alaska Legislature is currently prioritizing FY2014 capital budget project funding requests, and important decisions will be made by the middle to end of next week (March 20-22) regarding projects to be funded. Showing local support is an important part of the legislative decision making process.  We urge you to contact the Interior Delegation as soon as possible to let them know your support for these projects. You can use the form below to send an email to the entire interior delegation. Please specifiy your email address, name, and physical address. You may also add an additional personal comment to the message.

You can contact individual members of the Interior Delegation at the addresses below:

Jr Nordics

NSCF Junior Nordics provides an opportunity for children to enjoy the Fairbanks winter while learning the sport of cross country skiing. Children ages 6 to 14 of all abilities are welcome to join and learn a sport they can pursue for a lifetime. The emphasis is on fun, fitness, and learning proper technique.

NSCF Junior Nordics skiers receive instruction in both classical and skate techniques from enthusiastic and dedicated coaches. Skiers learn proper care and handling of equipment, trail etiquette, good sportsmanship and how to act responsibly in the outdoors. A typical practice session will include a warm-up period, a lesson in a technique and appropriate length group ski on the trails, ending with a fun activity.
