Augustana Athletics is pleased to continue Alberta's oldest youth biathlon tradition and invite biathletes from across the country to Camrose for high-performance summer training from July 16-21, 2017, 2016.
The Camrose Camp is open to athletes between the ages of 12 and 17 who have been active in biathlon for at least one full season as the training activities include daily roller-ski and shooting practices. This is strictly .22 cal rifle camp and no air rifles are allowed. Athletes at the age of 12 will need to be transitioning from air rifles to .22s (Dev.1 and Dev. 2) in 2016-17 dry-land training and winter competition season in order to be eligible for this camp.
The City of Camrose, University of Alberta Augustana Campus and Camrose Ski Club are proud to showcase over eleven kilometres of paved roller ski trails, another 25 kilometres of running trails throughout the City and a well-equipped Biathlon Range. All trails are accessible directly from Campus. Athletes from all provinces and territories are invited to attend.
Join the Vikings this summer for a great opportunity to enhance biathlon knowledge, develop skills, enjoy the Camrose trails, have lots of fun and meet new friends in sport! Led by the Vikings Student-Athletes and Alumni, under the direction of Head Coach, Lowell Niven, the University of Alberta Augustana Campus is pleased to offer the Camrose Camp.
