High Performance Camp

HIGH PERFORMANCE CAMP - Excellence in Ski Instruction
OPEN TO ALL CERTIFICATION LEVELS

On March 10-11 2012, Silver Star, BC will be host of the first ever High Performance Camp. This new program is designed to offer high value training to members of all levels with a focus on improving the participants skills as a ski instructor. This event also serves as a starting point for those interested in becoming a demo team member.

Is this camp for me?
The High Performance Camp is for all CSIA members. Participants will be divided into groups by level.

Why should I attend?
The H.P. Camp is an opportunity to develop your skills as a ski instructor by the CSIA’s top trainers.

What’s the goal?
The goal of the camp is to create a common understanding of the CSIA technique and methodologies, learn how to train and potentially gain a spot on the Canadian Demonstration Team 2014.

What is the Canadian Demonstration Team?
By the end of the 2014 High Performance Camp, a set number of participants will be selected as Demo Team members. This team will represent the pinnacle of each level of certification. They will be recognized as the target for all members at their respective levels. They will be used in video, magazine articles, web clips, skiing /teaching tips etc…

What about Interski 2015?
For decades, the CSIA has participated in Interski and has benefitted greatly through this exchange of ideas. Interski 2015 moves to Argentina and the CSIA Interski Team will be selected from Demonstration Team.

Benefitting the CSIA and its members…
In recent years the demo-team process has brought a new dimension to CSIA training. With the focus on training rather than than selection, the entire membership benefits.

  • Participants become stronger skiers and teachers, sharing a consistent message from coast to coast, and from snowschools to certification courses.
  • This process researches high level methodologies and technique and confirms what is working and what requires deeper investigation.
  • The demo-team creates exchange between east and west and a desire to develop and excel as ski teachers and course conductors.
