2025 Camps

Bummed out that the season is over? Wishing you could get just a few more turns in? Then boy, do we have a treat for you!

Whistler Mountain Ski Club is pleased to announce the programming dates and plan for our Spring and Summer Camps! This year we will begin our camps in the first week of May, so as to offer a little break from the busy End-of-Season events in April, like Try Out WMSC, where we invite the next generation of ski racers to our club, as well as the O2E Whistler Cup, one of our biggest events of the year. We wanted to offer something a bit more unique and will be planning speed and skills camps where athletes can work on specific components such as gliding, jumping, long turns, starts, terrain and aerodynamics to name a few. July will have our regular two dryland camps with a special addition in the second one to utilize the ski jump water ramps at Base II of Blackcomb Mountain. 

And as a first this season, all of our Spring and Summer Camps will run parallel to our inaugural Mountain Bike Camps, where we are hoping to translate our Goal, Plan, Execute, Review approach to one of the most popular forms of summertime recreation in the world. 

Please see the dates below, mark your calendars and look forward to skiing the summer away! 

Do note that include lift access is not always included, so you will need a valid lift ticket or season's pass to attend any of our May Ski Camps. However, if you require lift passes, we offer a Spring 20-Day Lift Ticket pack for these kindly send us an email, and we will assist you in purchasing one. The cost of the pack will be $253 + GST and they will be valid April 14th to May 19th, 2025.

Nancy Greene SL Spring Skills Festival

May 2-4 @ Whistler, BC | U10 and U12

Named after one of Canada's most prolific ski racers, Nancy Greene, this SL camp serves to further develop the skills required to push young athletes to their boundaries. As shorter, technical turns are synonymous with SL events, this camp will focus primarily on softer skills such as good body form and proper line choice, as well as building on the fundamentals through gate training and targeted drills. We believe that this camp will help bring out in its participants the "go for it" attitude that Nancy was well-known for, and will help these young skiers to show off their talent and determination on the slopes.

This event will run at our Blackcomb Race Center, and is open to athletes belonging to a U10 and U12 Program. 

Price: $275.00

Spring GS/SL Camps

May 8-11 and May 15-18 @ Whistler, BC | U14, U16 and FIS

New this year, we will be combining our Slalom and GS camps this year, while offering 2 sessions. The focus for this camp will be on developing our racers in both Slalom and GS-style environments, focusing on ski techniques for both disciplines, such as taking longer turns at higher speeds in GS as well as shorter, more nimble turns in SL. We will also be focusing on soft skills like body positioning and line choice amongst others things. We have access to ideal race training terrain at the Blackcomb Race Center, along with our excellent team of coaches to set a variety of drills, tactical and full length courses. 

This event will run at our Blackcomb Race Center, and is open to athletes from a U14, U16 and FIS Program. We recommend that athletes participate in both sessions to get the most out of the May camps. 

Do note that you cannot enroll in just one discipline this summer, the camps will focus on both GS and SL.

Preparatory Fitness Camp

July 8-August 16 @ Whistler, BC | U12 and U14

Make the most of the summer with the WMSC! These new preparatory camps replace our previous Summer Sport Camps, with an updated format and renewed focus on performance-based training for ski racers. This camp series will be open to everyone who is a member of the club. We’re excited to offer a series of dynamic, 4-day summer preparatory fitness camps tailored for 10–13-year-olds, starting July 8 and running every other week (Tuesday to Friday).

Each camp focuses on foundational athletic development—key to becoming a stronger, faster, and more resilient ski racer. Staying fit during the off-snow months is critical to long-term success in ski racing. These camps are designed to build core strength, agility, coordination, and endurance—everything young athletes need to perform at their best when the snow returns.

This event will run at various locations around Whistler BC, and will alternate weekly with our new MTB Camps. The camp will also be open to everyone in our U12 and U14 programs only. 

Price: $200.00 per week
