Testimonials from our high school camps:

Didi Irwin-Green (Lake Oswego ski team parent)
Robin, Jason & Andrew, On behalf of the Johnson Family ... thanks for making Riley feel so welcome at camp. She had a great time with all of you. She said you gave her some great advice. She enjoyed getting perspective from other coaches! She also liked the video. We don't have that with our club. She talked about finally understanding what her coach has been telling her for two years about dropping her hands on Slalom. The kids were very nice. She regretted that she didn't sign up to stay with you at the lodge ... next time! Thanks again!

Robin, Sean,
Thanks so much for providing instruction for our son, Lito, and all the other kids this week. It was a thrill to see them all up there. The pace of learning was truly amazing, like watching a plant grow before your eyes. See you at the races!
~Bill Nicolai (OES ski team parent)
Dear Mr Cressy,
Thanks you very much for the excellent ski camp experience. Hunor had a great time, learned a lot and decided to race on the Lincoln HS team during the next season.
Sincerely, Marta Somogyi-Mann (Lincoln high school ski team parent)
Robin and Sean,
Taylor got home tonight and talked non-stop through dinner and into the evening about his experience at camp these past 4 days. He had a great experience and so much fun. Thank you for your time and energies! I know this is a tough time of the year, so busy before the holidays and we really appreciate the opportunity for Taylor to train with you. We loved the photo’s and update you sent each evening, (especially since we couldn’t reach Taylor on his cell due to a weak signal). It was great to get the daily reports and photos. He learned so much from you at the camp and had a ton of fun. I have to tell you that you can double your fees for camp and it would be worth every penny! Taylor would love to do it again so keep us in mind when you schedule the next one! Happy holidays!
~ Laura J. Gentry (Tigard high school ski team parent)
Robin,
Natalie's dad here. We can't thank you enough for the instruction you have given her. We also love the media that is coming also. Those pictures were great. Just a great experience. Any time you want to do this again, Natalie is in. I would also like to know if you ever do private lessons. Natalie, Annette, and I are very impressed with your system. Thank you so much.
~ Tom Quirk (Sunset high school ski team parent)
Hi Robin. Just wanted to thank you for a successful race camp. Natalie was very excited about all she learned on both days. Again, we are very thankful for all of yours and Sean's instruction. Natalie's been jotting down notes to keep it all in her head. Enjoy the rest of Spring Break.
~ Annette Quirk (Sunset high school ski team parent)
Robin,
Steven reports he learned lots of great tips and the camp was terrific. Thanks for doing this. I think he'll be back next year for sure.
~Carolyn Schiewe (Wilson high school ski team parent)
Hey its Taylor Witkop, I just wanted to say thank you so much for doing the camp. I felt like I learned a lot and got a lot better as well and I hope to do it again next year.
Jake had a blast! He learned so much and is excited to put it all on action! I would recommend this to everyone who wants to ski and race better. Thanks Sean Robin and Brian!
~ Angie Scherer (Southridge ski team parent)
Thank you very much. I picked up Cole and Alex last night and they really enjoyed the camp. The both felt they had great training!
~ Marti Jacobsen (Jesuit ski team parent)
You guys are such GREAT coaches and so great with the kids. He wants to keep coming back. He is so encouraged by his improvements each day. Thanks for turning him into a Varsity racer over the last 3 camps and making it fun.
~ Cheryl Connall (OES ski team parent)
Hi Robin and Sean, She improved her time from last year by 12 seconds; great progress in her development. Thank you for the coaching last week. She said she learned a lot.
~ Kevin Grillo (Southridge ski team parent)
Jack said he felt much more prepared for Cato after camp on Friday. He hooked a gate during the race, but he did officially finish, which was his goal.
~ Tania Vincent (Southridge ski team parent)
Thank you very much for your help on Friday. Sophie was very happy she spent the time with you and Sean. That one day was a big one for her and she knows it.
