We are back at The Remarkables for the 2024 July School Holidays!
For this programme, we have permission for 48 athletes to be training on the mountain on any given day. Due to this, we expect this camp to be fully-booked very quickly.
Please note that we are only accepting registrations for full-week training blocks. Due to athlete capacity and maximising the quality of the training programme, we will not be accepting registrations for partial weeks, except where there is exceptional justification.
Please see below an overview of our camp calendar, fees and athlete application process.
Athlete application process:
- Click the ‘Apply Now’ button below to launch the athlete application form
- Complete the application form for each athlete and complete the checkout process (no payment will be required at this stage)
- We will confirm receipt of your application by Midday on Saturday 13th April. At this stage we may either:
- Confirm the athlete’s space on the camp, OR
- Confirm the athlete’s position on the camp waitlist (if all spaces are currently reserved in that camp for that athlete’s category), OR
- Suggest an alternative training option based on the athlete’s age and ability
- On confirmation of the athlete’s place, you will be invoiced a training deposit of $500 per athlete (plus the $90.00 2024/25 Northern Ski Team Athlete Registration Fee).
