Due to the Covid-19 epidemic, all SSWSC summer programming is subject to change. Program start/end dates, times, schedules, structure and prices may be adjusted. If necessary, programs may be cancelled. We will communicate any program changes to all families who have registered.

Summer on-snow camps are a valuable opportunity to work on fundamental skills and to be immersed in all the performance domains of alpine skiing (technical, tactical, physical, mental, equipment preparation, team dynamics and culture). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and associated safety and health protocols, our summer camp offerings are subject to change.

Due to state and local regulations, we will not be able to provide team transportation or lodging for these camps.

PLANNING YOUR TRIP TO MOUNT HOOD

Our lodging partner for many years at Mount Hood has been Collins Lake Resort located in Government Camp. Their chalet units include garages for tuning and are well-appointed with full kitchens and laundry. When we learned that we could not provide team lodging this summer for our June camp, they graciously provided a full refund of our reservation. We recommend staying here, check them out at www.collinslakeresort.com. Mention the discount code “steamboat” for 10% off. The coaches will be staying here. Government Camp is the most central location for access to camp activities, but the towns on the way to Portland on Hwy 26 have houses and condos for rent that are close as well (Rhododendron, Zig Zag, Welches, Mt. Hood Village).
