Summer Ski Camp

Cardigan’s summer ski racing camp focuses on fundamentals, skill development, race tactics, and fun! We prepare campers for the upcoming season by identifying key adjustments and reinforcing them through repetition.

Our camp is high volume and high energy!

After an early breakfast, we will ski in the mornings with one day off to allow campers to rest and recharge. In the afternoons and evenings, we blend dryland training, mental workshops, and exploration of the beautiful Oregon mountains into an unforgettable experience in the classic summer ski racing location of Mt. Hood.
