Spend the school break skiing, learning, and making friends at Kirkwood. KSEF coaches lead small, ability-based groups through all-mountain skiing, drills, and progressive gate training. It’s a chance for experienced racers to sharpen skills and strong skiers to try race-team training.
December 20–January 4. Days off: December 24–25 and December 31–January 1. Contact Dana for daily meeting times and current camp details.
Campers need one of three 2026/27 passes, or a multi-day Kirkwood lift ticket covering every camp day: Epic Pass (no blackout dates), Tahoe Local Pass (blackout dates apply), or Kirkwood Pass (Kirkwood only, no blackout dates). The Tahoe Local Pass does not work Dec 26 to 31, 2026, which covers five camp days (Dec 26 to 30). Returning and new members are encouraged to check camp dates with our Program Administrator, Dana Keith, before buying a pass or ticket.

This is not a beginner program. Athletes must load and unload lifts independently, ski off Chairs 5, 7, and 11 without assistance, link turns on blue terrain, and stop independently. Groups are assigned by age and ability on the first day.
Coached skiing builds balance, turning skills, edge awareness, and racing technique. Athletes explore terrain suited to their ability and build confidence in gates. Coaches supervise athletes throughout the day, including breaks, and share weather or schedule changes by email.
Bring equipment suited to your athlete’s level. Ask KSEF coaches about fit and specifications before buying.
All-mountain or multi-event race skis, generally forehead length. Skiers ages 6–9 may use all-mountain carving skis, chin-to-forehead length; no twin tips.
Properly fitted ski or race boots with suitable flex.
Poles of the correct length.
A MIPS helmet with chin/face guard meeting current safety standards, worn at all times.
Goggles, waterproof gloves or mittens, and layers for changing mountain conditions.
The current camp tuition is shown above. Ask Dana about availability, lift access requirements, and what to bring. Kylese can help you decide whether camp is the right fit for your skier.
