It’s normal to feel nostalgic about childhood at Christmas time. But every once in a while something really makes you wish you were still 10-years-old. Take this offer from the Canadian Luge Association: Luge recruitment camps in Whistler and Calgary, designed to introduce 10-14 year-olds to the sport. For $30 the junior sliders receive a brief introduction to the technique and the sleds, then are turned loose to “take several runs from the lowest starting point on the Olympic Bobsleigh & Luge Track.”
