May 20, 2015 – APUNSC would like to invite interested AK junior skiers to join us this summer for one of two 6-day training camps on Eagle Glacier at the Thomas Training Center.

The training experience on Eagle Glacier is second to none. Situated at 5,000 ft. above Girdwood, weather can range from summer to winter conditions with rain, snow, or beautiful sunshine. After a helicopter flight up to the training facility, skiers can expect a full week of skiing twice a day on fully groomed ski trails. In between training sessions, the focus is on resting and recovery, preparing meals, and group activities. At the end of the week, skiers will make the descent by foot from the rim of Eagle Glacier back down to Girdwood (all skis and gear will be flown down).

Who
The camps are targeted towards U18 skiers or U20 skiers who will still be in high school next year. Preference is given to AK junior skiers, though non-Alaskans are encouraged to apply.

Dates and Cost
– Junior Girls Glacier Camp- July 26th-August 1st, 2015 – $750
– Junior Boys Glacier Camp- August 9th-14th, 2015 – $750

**Possible date of entry to Thomas Training Center is one day earlier than the dates listed above due to weather.

**Camp fee does not include helicopter transport up to the Thomas Training Center. Helicopter payment to be paid directly to Alpine Air on the day of flight, approximately $110 per flight and arranged through APU Glacier Staff. Exact cost will depend on number of participants.
