The Tetrahedron Outdoor Club is a group of Sunshine Coast residents who love the outdoors. Throughout the year the club provides the community with group recreational opportunities, some of which include: winter ski trips, summer hiking/paddling trips, instructional training and sessions for new skiers, club meetings, social events, cabin and trail maintenance, lectures and special presentations.

The club came into existence in the 1960’s. They built four back country log cabins in Tetrahedron Provincial Park and developed the network of trails that run through it. Today, they continue to maintain the cabins and trails under a stewardship agreement with BC Parks. The generous work of countless volunteers allows the public to enjoy the vast playground of the Tetrahedron.

For many years the Tetrahedron Outdoor Club has recognized the need for child and youth winter recreation opportunities on the Sunshine Coast. The idea of a Jackrabbit cross-country ski program has long been a goal of the club along with the original Dakota Ridge Winter Recreation Society, the Sunshine Coast Nordic Ski Club, and staff of the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD). The Jackrabbit program is a fun way for kids to learn basic cross-country ski skills while providing an opportunity to ski and socialize with their parents and friends. It also helps children to develop confidence, outdoor winter safety skills, and build overall motor skills. The program’s long term goal is to foster an appreciation of physical exercise and nature in children by exposing them to a fun outdoor family activity. Jackrabbits is a parent participation program.
