This camp at the AcrobatX center is for athletes ready to commit to freestyle skill progression for next season.  Camp is coached by 2 world known coaches who will help you achieve the goals you bring to camp.  Each camp day begins with dryland conditioning (run, stretch, body weight exercises).  Athletes have two trampoline training sessions and two pool training sessions each day.   Campers will need to bring a wet suit, bathing suits, life jacket, helmet, mouth guard, ski boots and twin tip skis that they are NOT planning to use next season. 

If you are interested in attending this camp email and Rebecca will direct you to our contact at AcrobatX to complete registration.  Please note that families are responsible for travel arrangements and accommodations during the week in Quebec.  There are many affordable places to rent on AirBnB.

Protective helmet: covering the back of the head
Life Jacket (PFD): Certified by the Canadian Coast Guard.
Skis: Used preferences
Ski Boots: You can use your winter boots unless you plan to do more than 10 days of ramping.
Isothermal suit (wetsuit): The isothermal suit protects from the cold and helps with buoyancy. It is highly recommended for the youngest to allow a comfortable and effective training. We suggest a thickness of 5mm for maximum comfort on cooler days.
Oral Protector (Mouthguard) : Recommended when athletes start making inverted or flips. (This is mandatory in winter).
Beach towel: Colors to choose :)
