Family Camp on Mt

Option 1: Full camp: Parents and their kids pay the full camp tuition price which covers everything: coaching, lift tickets, video analysis, dorm housing, meals, transportation, and most of our afternoon activities. Housing upgrades are available for parents. (see below for information about staying at the Mt Hood Inn and Collins Lake Condos).

Option 2: Day Camp: Day Camp is for kids under 9 whose parents are also registered campers or kids 9 or older housing with parents. Kids 5 to 8 who do day camp must be supervised by their own parents during afternoon activities. Families with young kids whose kids sleep off site with them get a $100 discount off the camp tuition price. (Lodging options at either the Mt Hood Inn or Collins Lake Resort - see below for details), Some afternoon activities may be unavailable due to safety concerns for younger children.

Option 3: Coaching Only Camp: Coaching Only is for anyone age 5-80. Included are coaching, lift tickets, and video analysis. Our Coaching Only program does NOT include meals, lodging, afternoon activities or transportation. $650 for kids and $700 for adults.

Young kids (ages 5 to 8) also enjoy training, but you must pick from options #2 or #3 lodging with parents. Mature kids ages 9 and above can pick option 1 lodging with the rest of the camp, while the parents stay somewhere else. Families may do a combination of these options. (example: older kids do option 1, and younger children do option 2) We don't have facilities or supervision for kids younger than 5. Young kids must be able to ski intermediate blue runs or easy groomed black runs, load and unload the chair lift by themselves, and ski with poles. The Palmer Snowfield is set up for high speed skiing with many camps having training lanes and it is only a safe place for kids ages 5 to 8 who do understand basic safety concepts. As much as we strongly emphasize safety to all campers, young children must understand and have the experience to keep themselves in safe situations on the mountain. Children ages 5 to 8 are too young to participate in the camp afternoon activities by themselves; their parents must pick them up after they get off the mountain each day or be with them for activities.
