2nd Instructional Session - BALANCE

Jaime Kingsbury joined us this morning to lead a session on balance. Jaime, current U16 Women's Coach at Stratton Mountain School, is a former UVM standout skier, winning the NCAA Div I GS Championships twice and once being named Collegiate Skier of the Year.


Leading the camp through several challenging balance drills and exercises, Jaime pushed our kids to get out of their comfort zone.  By the end of the drills, the campers were learning, trying, failing, and trying again.  Great effort by our counselors, and also by Brittany Lathrop (USST) who has joined us for yesterday and today.



Brittany and Matt will lead a discussion with the camp about skiing and the path they took to get to where they are in the sport.

Mountain Biking and Swimming this afternoon!
