FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
1.

3. Is Lunch Provided? No, please pack a lunch or bring money for lunch.
4. What's the deal with Lift Tickets? If you don't have a season pass, spring pass or fusion pass, please bring cash so you can purchase your own lift ticket each morning.  ($44 per day at ski bowl)
5.
Helmets required?  Absolutely YES!
6. The ticket booth at ski bowl EAST is not always open, so if you are buying your lift ticket each day, you might have to stop by Ski bowl WEST to get your ticket before meeting us on the east side.

Testimonials from our high school camps:
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.
