The Alpine Summer Dryland Camp focuses on the six key qualities of fitness needed for all Alpine Skiers: balance, flexibility, coordination, endurance, speed, and strength. Campers, who are led by Tom Barbeau, Waterville Valley Academy’s Director of Human Performance, will use activities such as rollerblading, mountain biking, swimming, and team competitions to enhance their fitness level. They will also take part in a wide variety of conditioning exercises based on the Burdenko Method of training.
The camp is based out of Waterville Valley Academy. Campers will have use of the facilities at the Barbeau Training Center and will use Waterville Valley’s extensive network of trails, athletic fields, and the surrounding mountains for training and activities.
Campers should come prepared to work hard all week! The camp is capped off by the annual WVBBTS Triathlon. Campers will leave camp with the skills to continue their own summer fitness plan
