What is your Covid 19 Policy?

Prior to travel please stay updated with France’s current Covid 19 restrictions and policies by clicking here.

Keely’s Camp requires staff and athletes participating in Keely’s International camps to be vaccinated unless granted an exemption**. Federal public health and infectious disease experts continue to emphasize that vaccination is the most effective way to prevent the spread of COVID-19 for those eligible.

If your daughter is not eligible to be vaccinated prior to camp, Keely’s camp offers many DAY camp opportunities!

Please contact Lindsay from Keely’s Camp at lindsay@keelycamp.com with any questions.

** Keely’s camp will provide exemptions to this policy for medical and religious regions. For medical exemptions a note from a Medical Professional should be sent to Keely’s Camp prior to attending camp. For medical or religious exemptions please submit your explanation via email to lindsay@keelyscamp.com for us to review.

Will there be any video analysis?

Each day we will be providing individualized on hill iPad video analysis. From our experience, visual feedback during training sessions has proven to be the most productive and powerful use of video. Campers can take what they see in their on hill video sessions and instantly implement changes into their skiing. iPad video is a powerful tool for visual improvements and growth throughout the week!

We take two videos per girl each day and upload campers’ video to Google Drive for campers and parents to review on their own.

Note: We do not take video footage on the first day of camp which is the drill day.

Does Keely’s Camp send my daughter home with an evaluation of her skiing?

Keely’s Camp does not provide end of camp written evaluations; however, we require that your daughter comes to camp with a ski journal. Coaches can help her write down important improvements and skills learned during her individualized on hill video sessions. Your daughter will come home with a journal full of feedback and skills learned for her upcoming season!

What afternoon activities do you do at camp?

Apex 2100 has an incredible gym and training facility for dryland. In addition to the use of their facility we will be able to go on incredible hikes and explore the local area in Tignes.

COACHING

Each day on the hill Keely’s Camp all female coaches offer world-class visuals by training with and coaching the girls.
