Each weekday, according to the schedules identified by teachers, groups of youth aged 13+ take part in **2–4 initiation sessions per day**, each lasting 1–2 hours for 8–12 students at a time. This is also when teachers discover **Wind Classes**. Introductory sessions for adults are held in the late afternoon, when daylight and winds are favourable.   [Discover Wind Classes](https://arcticwindriders.ca/fr-ca/windclass?hsLang=en-ca) --- View More ## Specialized Training # For Instructors and Leaders Alongside the daily student initiations, some youth learn quickly and naturally become those who help others. They join teachers, recreation leaders, and interested parents in supporting the activity. - Instructor certification - Maintenance and repair clinics - Operations planning: lending, rental, initiations, storage - Safety and prevention On weekends, the activity is open to all families.
