ANNUAL FLIGHT CAMP ENDS SUMMER SEASON FOR JUMPERS/NORDIC COMBINERS

Fifteen athletes’, fourteen parents and three coaches from the SSWSC Ski Jumping & Nordic Combined program ended the summer season by participating in the club’s annual Flight Camp at the Utah Olympic Park in Park City, August 13-18. The trip started off with roller skiing, runs, hikes and fun activities followed by a night of camping at Deerlodge State Park on the Yampa River. Once in Park City, the camp offered seven jumping sessions throughout the week, a flexibility & imitation session with SSWSC alum and national team member, Taylor Fletcher, an afternoon at a water park and finished with a team BBQ on the last night. Goals for the camp are to get in one last intense block of jump training before going back to school, logging lots of jumps and jumping bigger jumps for the first time. A few of our younger athletes were traveling to the UOP for the first time and a number of PR’s (personal records) were set during the camp. Athletes at Flight Camp ranged in age from 9 to 13 while most of the club’s older J/NC athletes attended a camp in Central Europe. In all, over twenty-five J/NC athletes participated in training camps in August. With a successful summer of training behind them, the SSWSC J/NC program is looking forward to and primed for a successful Fall/Winter season.
