Training & coaching

Programs that build athletes from U10 to Olympic.

FKOC has been a pipeline for USA Nordic and Biathlon for decades. These are the programs that do the work.

Jalbert Biathlon Program

The Jalbert Biathlon Program introduces local youth to the sport of biathlon in a fun, supportive environment focused on skill-building, marksmanship, and confidence.

Biathlon Residence

The Jalbert Biathlon Residence provides housing for athletes training in Fort Kent, offering a supportive, community-centered environment within walking distance of the trails.

PG Training Program

A full-time training program for post-graduate athletes in Nordic biathlon, based at the Fort Kent Outdoor Center.
The endowment fund

Securing the future of FKOC, dollar by dollar.

Summer on the trails

The northernmost disc golf course in the country.

Eighteen holes climbing from the lodge into the Lonesome Pine Trails, with the St. John Valley opening up behind the baskets. Two tee layouts — one for beginners, one for a longer round. Open May through October, dawn to dusk, donations welcome.
