We are now back in the Midwest with just have spent an amazing 8 days at the 2019 GMVS Summer Camp. This year 6 amazing athletes from Wisconsin & Minnesota join us for the GMVS camp. Athletes from 9 states, many who took top three placements at the 2019 Junior Nationals, along with athletes headed to the Youth Olympic Games & More. Coaching staff was comprised of a great core group of 6 representing Eastern Ski Academies, NCAA Programs along with Elite & Junior Programs. Also joining us were three former GMVS athletes now skiing for Harvard, Bowdoin & Dartmouth.
Our Trip left on Saturday, heading across the state picking up athletes on our way East. Trekking across the US, visiting Lake Erie and the Adirondacks along the way. Beginning Monday athletes arrived at camp and headed off to the first workout – Pole Hike & Run up Sugarbush Mountain! Day two began with a morning run & movement and leading into an OD Double Pole workout & River Run. Day Three continued with Classic Progressions with “MooseHufs” and Bounding. Wrapping up the day with a Strength Circuit workout in the Race Performance Center at GMVS. Day Four was “Jericho” and the Rollerski Track.

Train Like A Birkie Champ!
Help us help these two men travel, train, and race this season!! Both Matt and Tad work hard to raise support for their careers! Being a professional Nordic ski racer is not easy any where, but especially in the US. Support for their expenses and lives must be raised by them! Lots of individuals, clubs, and non profits help athletes like Matt and Tad and so can you. Attending this camp will accomplish two significant goals! You will learn something that you can take home to benefit the enjoyment of your individual sport and you will join the team and community that helps support Matt and Tad in their careers and goals. We provide the opportunity to help, you provide the encouragement and the financial support!
