15th Annual Sarah Will and Chris Waddell Vail Monoski Camp
January 7-11, 2007

Presented by the Vail Marriott
Sponsored by Adaptive Adventures

This year's all-ability monoski camp is open to beginner to advanced skiers. The camp will build confidence through instructing proper body position employing the basic skiing techniques used by the world's best skiers and PSIA instructors. With daily video, students will mark their own progress as well as learn from each other as they construct the visual image of proper skiing technique.

Instructors include 12-time Paralympic gold medalist Sarah Will; Vail PSIA adaptive instructors and Matt Feeney - Director of the Adaptive Adventures PSIA Ski School. Also on hand will be PSIA-certified instructors from Adaptive Adventures and interns and volunteers from the Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center to offer additional support. Small groups based on ability level will make the most of our time on the mountain.

The camp cost of $600* includes accommodations at the 4 Diamond Marriott Resort in Lionshead, instruction and two dinners. You will be within rolling distance of the ski lifts, shops, restaurants, nightlife and accessible bus route.
