WVBBTS Alpine Dryland Training Camp

CAMP DATES - July 21 - July 25

CAMP LOCATION - Waterville Valley Ski Area-Waterville Valley, NH

The WVBBTS Alpine Program will conduct a five day summer “Dryland Fitness Camp” in Waterville Valley, NH in the summer for both WVBBTS members and non-members.  This camp is run by Tom Barbeau, the Executive Director of Athletics, Alpine Program Director and Head JIII Alpine Coach at WVBBTS.

The camp will run Monday through Friday with one session for JI/JII athletes and the other session for JIII/JIV/JV athletes.  The camp provides an opportunity for young athletes to test themselves with a wide variety of fitness elements (including rollerblading, a slalom course, water strengthening exercises, hiking, mountain biking, running and strengthening workouts).

Each camp will include 13 sessions over the 5 days.  See the JI/JII schedule and the JII/JIV/JV schedule below.  For the session devoted to JI’s and JII’s the intensity level will be stepped up, but the focus will remain the same.  Athletes will be exposed to workouts covering all the physical qualities needed in alpine ski racing.  Athletes do not need to worry about their current fitness level. Each session allows for a wide range of fitness, so intensity of the workout depends upon what the athlete can give at that specific time. We do, however, ask that if an athlete is injured or if the athlete has a ‘selective’ injury, one that lets them only do what they want to do, that the athlete does not attend.

We will be utilizing White Mountain Athletic Club and the National Forest for workouts. Please bring plenty of exercise clothes, a couple of pairs of sneakers, bathing suits (you will be in the water 2 times per day), sun screen, sunglasses, warm clothes, rain gear, roller blades, a mountain bike, toughness and determination with you.  If you wish to commit to this week you are going to do it right, and eating right is a big part.

It includes accommodations at the Waterville Valley Academy and three meals per day. The day only camp fee is $300 for summer 2008 (and does not include meals).
