NASC proudly incorporates a number of adventure activities that combine fundamental skill development while also offering a diversity of experience and fun not typically associated with ski camps. We offer expert instruction to teach campers new activities and build their confidence. Each day, campers have three different afternoon activities from which they can choose. Additionally, each camp session offers a core off-day activity. Activities may include:

_Mountain biking
_Climbing
_Paddle boarding
_Swimming
_Tennis
_Hiking
_Rollerblading
_Volleyball
_Soccer
_Slack Line
_Dryland training

Our diversity of offerings allows campers to customize their camp adventure to meet their motivations. In all of the camp activities that we do at NASC, safety is always of utmost concern. We know if our campers are safe and having fun, they are going to learn.

Chances are you’ve done this before, but here are some thoughts.
