The Pacific Northwest Ski Association invites Nordic skiers ages 14-23 to attend the PNSA Bend Camp: June 15-19.
Participants will enjoy on snow and dryland training sessions with the goal of improving Nordic technique, fitness, strength and overall athletic preparation. The camp is appropriate for young skiers who are just getting started, High School skiers, Junior National skiers and Collegiate skiers.
Thanks to a grant from PNSA, the cost for the 5 day camp is only $125 and is all inclusive: catered meals, team lodging, transport and coaching.
Methow Valley coach Sam Naney will be driving down the 97 corridor- contact him: samuel.naney@gmail.com if you need to arrange a ride to Oregon. Participants should gather at the Three Rivers School (56900 Enterprise Drive) in Sunriver, OR at 3pm on June 15th.
According to Head Coach, Ben Husaby, “This is a great opportunity to merge skiers from across the Northwest and across the country to get the season started. We are planning on snow and dryland training sessions with a hike up one of the Cascade peaks. This camp will certainly be an adventure and will help skiers know how to prepare for success at Trout Lake later in the summer.”
Participants must enroll online by June 1st.
