April 17, 2015 – The sixth edition of the National U16 Camp will be held Friday July 24 to Friday, July 31 2015 in Burlington, Vermont. The National U16 Camp brings together the top U16 Boys and Girls from across the Country for a week of intensive training and ski sport education as one the first steps in the USSA National Development Pipeline.

The National Nordic Foundation has designated the U16 Camp as one of its Pillar Projects and has been instrumental in helping the U16 Camp grow into one of our country’s key development initiatives. The camp rotates in location throughout the country and this year’s camp will be held on University of Vermont Campus, home to the always powerful UVM NCAA Ski Team. US Ski Team staff will lead the camp along with a selection of top regional coaches.

Selection for the camp is based on results from US Junior Championships, recently hosted by Auburn Ski Club. In addition to the automatic selections of the top twenty boys and top twenty girls based on JN results, each USSA division is afforded two discretionary picks of one boy and one girl, in addition to however many may have qualified via the JN selection procedure. It is the responsibility of each USSA Division to select these additional skiers and forward those selections onto the camp director, Rick Kapala of the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation, rick@svsef.org.

Attendees are required to organize their own flights or ground transport into Burlington, VT to arrive on Friday, July 24 (by 8pm) and to depart on the following Friday, July 31 (by 5pm) Lodging, meals and all associated camp costs are included in the camp fee of $660.00 Skiers who have been selected through the JN selection procedure may immediately confirm their attendance by emailing Camp Director Rick Kapala at rick@svsef.org.

Divisional Leaders should make their discretionary selections as soon as possible and inform Rick Kapala of these selections as well as notify the respective athletes and direct the skiers to confirm by the deadline of May 30th. Participants will receive a comprehensive registration packet via email upon confirmation. Please assist us in notifying athletes that they have been selected by forwarding this announcement on to the club coaches of selected athletes.
