Frequently Asked Questions

Can anyone participate?

The camp is open to all ages and abilities - anyone who wants to improve their skiing and racing techniques. Please note this is intense training for serious racers.

What’s your contact information?

The best way to contact us is to email sailerskicamps@gmail.com or call Martina at (612) 819-4904

Ugh, the dates don’t quite work, can I do partial weeks?

Yes! We can work with you on prorating camp fees and coordinating partial sessions, no problem.

Is safety equipment required?

Yes, helmets are required for giant slalom and slalom training and face protection and/or mouthguard for slalom.

What is the cancellation policy?

If the need to cancel arises please inform staff at your earliest convenience. A portion of your payment will be forfeited determined by the proximity of time to the start of camp:

6+ weeks: Full refund
6 weeks prior: $250
4 weeks prior: $350
2 weeks prior: $500

What’s the story if I send my camper alone to camp?

The camp has limited space for older kids coming without parents (kids 13+ or kids coming with older friends or siblings). There will be a $150/ per session transportation fee and campers will stay at the Resort at the Mountain in Welches, Oregon with other similarly-aged campers. Unaccompanied campers must also order the breakfast and lunch option available; dinners are on their own at one of the 2 restaurants at the Resort or one of many local restaurants. Contact us at sailerskicamps@gmail.com for more information or call Martina at (612)819-4904.

Where can I find camp registration and waivers?

Click the Register link on this website to go to the TeamSnap registration site. If you missed the Ski Area Waiver - you should complete the Timberline release for each registered session (copy and paste into a new window):
Session 1- http://tinyurl.com/bdh3zz8m
Session 2- http://tinyurl.com/sc9by45d

Can my camper get rides to/from the mountain?

Yes, we have a transportation option for $150/session - space is limited, so sign up soon. If you choose that option, you will probably want to order the breakfast and lunch option since many taking the vans will be eating with the group at the Wy’East Lodge at Timberline.

When should I arrive and depart?

The first meeting is at 7 p.m. on June 8th and 14th - we recommend arriving at least a few hours before then to get acquainted with the area.

For those requiring airport pickups, please plan to arrive before noon on June 8th and 14th. For airport dropoffs, please plan to fly home between 5 - 8 p.m. on June 13th (or before noon on June 14th) and 5 p.m. or later on June 19th. Contact Martina to coordinate.
