How do I tune my skis at camp?
Please bring your own tuning equipment as we will not be able to physically assist with tuning during our day camps. If you have questions about tuning we will be happy to answer them. We also recommend having your skis tuned and ready prior to your session.
I just started ski racing, am I ready for your ski racing camp?
Usually, we require at least a year of ski racing experience to handle Mt. Hood’s terrain. For younger athletes we require that you know how to pack your own ski bag, organize and keep track of your equipment, and carry your own equipment to the lift each day. You can email keely@keelyscamp.com to inquire about your ability and/or send video of your skiing to us!

The only difference between Session Purple & Session Orange is the coaching staff. These sessions are operated simultaneously. On mountain training lanes for Session Purple & Orange are adjacent to each other and the schedule for these sessions are the same.
How are ski groups assigned during my session?
We assign groups by age to facilitate social bonding within athletes of the same age. We make necessary changes if there is a wide range of ability within a ski group.
