Development Camp (s)
2011 Development (Year 7 – Year 12) Camp # 1 (places are limited)
Alpine Skiing and Snowboarding, Sunday 3 – Friday 8 July, Mt Buller
This camp has been run successfully for a number of years. The camp is offered on a residential or a non-residential basis, as some families may be staying at Mt Buller at the time and may prefer to have their sons/daughters staying with them. St Leonard’s College Staff/Sports Coaches/Parents will once again supervise the camp.
The training program comprises 4 hours of alpine skiing or snowboard training on each of five days. Training will be graded, depending on ability. Advanced skiers and boarders will be offered race training, and intermediate skiers and boarders will be offered general development training. All training will be run by qualified race instructors/coaches.
Accommodation will be at the Alpine Retreat (Ski Lodge), Mt Buller.
Parents and students will be required to attend the Development Camp Information Night on Monday 27 June, 7.30 pm, TCW, Brighton Campus, which will detail the organisational nature of the Camp. This will also provide an opportunity for students and parents to ask questions.
