Join Okemo Mountain School for some amazing early season slopestyle training in Corvatsch, Switzerland. Athletes will stay in the village of Silvaplana and access 8 days (weather dependent) of on-snow training at the Corvatsch Park, which is known to be a hidden gem for early season park access. Athletes will be provided with an assortment of breakfast foods which they can prepare themselves and work in teams with coach supervision to prepare family style dinners. Lunch will be eaten at on-mountain locations and athletes will need to purchase these meals themselves or have packed a lunch to bring with them using the lunch supplies provided by the camp.
Estimated Cost:
$3,700 for OMS athletes enrolled during the month of December.
$4,700 for OMS athletes or others not enrolled during the month of December. Okemo Competition Center athletes and athletes from other programs are welcome and encouraged to attend.
Cost includes lodging, breakfast, dinner, lunch supplies (athletes must make for themselves to bring to the mountain), ground transportation, coaching fees, lift tickets.
Cost does not include airfare (athletes can book with our travel agent on the same flight as the coaches), lunch if purchased at the mountain, or meals when traveling to/from Corvatsch.
To secure a spot on this camp, a $1500 deposit is due by Friday 11/8. Final camp cost will be determined shortly after this due date. Registration is online - CLICK HERE to register today!
Air Travel:
Coaches will be booked on a flight to Zurich from Boston. We encourage all athletes that can to travel with the coaches. Any athletes wishing to travel with the coaches should book the same flights - flight information will be sent to registrants. If your athlete is under 15 years old, you will want to book with Winter Park Travel (contact info will be provided later) to associate with the coaches’ tickets and avoid additional fees. If anyone chooses to travel a different flight itinerary, they will need to land at or before the team's Zurich arrival time.

Lodging and meals:
Coaches and athletes will stay in apartment style accommodations in Silvaplana or Silvaplana Surlej. They will be provided with an assortment of breakfast foods which they can prepare themselves and work in teams with coach supervision to prepare family style dinners. Lunch will be eaten at on-mountain locations and athletes will need to purchase these meals themselves or have packed a lunch to bring with them using the lunch supplies provided by the camp.
Academics:
Currently enrolled OMS student-athletes will work with their OMS teachers over the course of the camp via a combination of email correspondence and phone/video conferencing contact (as schedule allows). They will be expected to continue working through their assignments at a reasonable pace using their study hall time wisely and requesting additional school time from the coaches if needed. Campers who are not currently enrolled OMS student-athletes will also be expected to complete school work that they have personally arranged from their sending schools during the study hall times. Should the need for any subject specific support arise, OMS can provide remote tutoring for non-OMS campers on an as needed basis - final arrangements TBD. Should you wish to explore this option, please contact Mariel Meringolo (mmeringolo@okemomountainschool.org).
