July 02, 2010 (Bend, OR) – Junior Nordic skiers from across the US and Canada are invited to join the Pacific Northwest crew in Trout Lake, Washington for a 5 day Nordic camp aimed at systematically improving Nordic technique, fitness, strength and overall athletic preparation.

The Trout Lake Camp has been a PNSA tradition for 11 years and is designed for relative beginners and seasoned veterans ages 14-23 with some roller skiing experience. Past campers have included High School racers from Oregon, youngsters eager to break into the sport, Junior National Champions, collegiate skiers and World Junior Team Members. Camps are built on a progression with specific workouts used to plot development over the course of the summer.
