Camps
Join Team Afton for one of our special training camps. Opportunities listed below. We will have other offerings here throughout the season.
Team Afton Early Colorado Camp – November 3-6, 2022
Our <very> early season camp is limited to only 10 participants ages U12-U21. Participants must arrive in Denver on November 2. We will freeski on November 3 and then seek a mix of gate training, free skiing, and drills from November 4-6. We will fly home late on the November 6. Our mix of gates, free skiing and drills depends on snow conditions.
We estimate costs to be $500-750 for the camp for lift tickets and training for the 4 days and we must limit participation to only 10 athletes. A $250 deposit is required to hold your spot. You can signup when you signup for your annual program or you can reachout to clubadmin@teamafton.com to signup separately.
Shared lodging, meals, and group travel may be available at an extra charge and families can also arrange their own travel. Schedule and program subject to SNOW.

This early season Colorado training is very valuable to the athletes.
