U12 Weekly Update - September 25th

Posted by U12 Program at Sep 26, 2022 1:38PM PDT

Hello U12 Parents!

Sun Peaks – 22-27/11/2022
Usually we are unable to set training courses in Whistler until mid to late December and Sun Peaks gives us a great opportunity to get a head start this, as well as some team bonding while exploring a new environment. We expect to have between 40%-50% of the team attending this pre season camp. The 22nd will be a travel day, 27th will include a morning ski and travel back in the afternoon.

We will send out our trip sheet for Sun Peaks soon with itinerary, pricing, registration and additional information. For now though you might want to book your accommodations, If so I recommend using Bear Country Lodging. Parents can call and get a 20% discount, just mention ski team parents discount . 1-800-811-4588.

Please note that U12 trips are always parent led meaning coaches will not be organizing accommodations, food or travel.

Teampages App
We ask that all WMSC members please download the Teampages App to your phone. Here you will find club news, messages, calendars and more! It’s the best way to operate Teampages on your mobile device and stay up to date with team messages and updates on your phone.
