GOVERNMENT CAMP — Young skiers intent on continuing to grow into the
sport of skiing are welcome to register for any of three Learn to Race Ski
Camps scheduled in December and January by the Mt. Hood Ski Education
Foundation.

Learn to Race sessions are designed to introduce young skiers and new racers
to the sport of alpine racing.

Prior racing experience is not required, however, skiers should be able to ride
the lifts, negotiate intermediate terrain and put on their own equipment.

Learn to Race Sessions 1 and 3 are scheduled on three consecutive
Saturdays in December or January.

Session 2, the Holiday Camp, is held on three consecutive days over winter
break.

Cost per session is $105, which does not include lift tickets.

Skiers age 6-8 must be accompanied by an adult during their training
sessions.

Learn to Race Session 1 will be held on Saturdays, December 5, 12, and 19.

Learn to Race Session 2 (Holiday Camp) is scheduled for December 28-30.

Learn to Race Session 3 is set for Saturdays, January 9, 16 and 23.

To register, visit www.mthoodacademy.com
All Learn to Race sessions are conducted at Mt. Hood Ski Bowl.

Coaches train with young skiers from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. with a one-hour
break for lunch.

Young skiers who are excited to continue racing may apply the Learn to Race
fee toward registration fees for the regular season of the Mt. Hood Race
Team.

The Mt. Hood Race Team is comprised of 80 young skiers, mostly from the
Portland area who compete in slalom, dual slalom and giant slalom events
around Mt. Hood from January through April.

The Mt. Hood Ski Education Foundation, Government Camp, is home of the
Mt. Hood Race Team, Mt. Hood Academy and the Mt. Hood Academy Ski
Team.

For more than 25 years, MHSEF has been providing rewarding experiences in
winter sports and recreation for youth and families.

A year-around program, MHSEF supports participants with fitness education,
winter training, racing, winter time boarding school, summer camps and
community outreach.
