The Winter Olympics are February 9-25th in PyeongChang, South Korea and families around the world will be watching. Make the games more than a spectator sport, test your skills or learn something new, try out the winter sports at locations across metro Detroit.

Every other year the Olympics offer breath-taking, nail-biting must-see tv. In a world with Netflix and DVR it’s the rare occasion when the family comes together to cheer on our nation’s athletes. Memories will be made that last a lifetime and books will be read about the competitors.  If the little in your life finds inspiration from Team USA help them start their journey to get the gold, right in their own backyard.
