Get on the snow early with pre-season training!
This year in a joint effort between clubs and the National Capital Division (NCD), we are combining our efforts to offer athletes several opportunities to not only get on the snow, but also to get some quality race training. I encourage athletes looking for the competitive edge to participate in these camps. However, these camps are completely optional, and are not part of the racing fee that you have paid.

Camp 1: Jay Peak runs from November 29 till December 7th (8 Days) and is available to K1, K2 and Junior athletes.
Online Registration:  http://www.gifttool.com/registrar/ShowEventDetails?ID=1335&EID=3608

Camp 2: 3 days week-end family camp at Jay Peak runs from December 5th till December 7th and is available to everybody.

More Training: The Calabogie coaching staff, along with our program coordinator, Paul Barrass, is looking into additional training opportunities. If we have an early cold stretch, and conditions are good for snow making we hope to set up some training at Calabogie. Other weekend trips will be announced as the season progresses. So be ready to go!
