February Half-Term Camp
Sat 6 – Sat 20 Feb 2026
Bormio, ITA
This February we return to the well-loved Italian town of Bormio, the host of Men’s Olympic Alpine Skiing in 2026!
The English Alpine Championships are the favourite winter race week of many. With stable weather, reliable snow and a full week of BASS & minis races, it’s not to be missed. The town of Bormio is a real gem as well with an authentic old town and a fantastic atmosphere.

Sat 13 Feb is a day off/travel day.

You are responsible for entering the races yourself. You must have a valid BASS competitor registration and enter online by the deadline to attend the camp. The races are the English Children’s Championships. See GBSki for details »
About The Camp
Staff
Head Coach Calum Shepherd leads the team for this camp. Check out our coaching team here »
Join This Camp
All camp attendees must be a member of Scottish Ski Club for the season the camp happens within. You can join this camp for individual or multiple weeks.
The camp is open to all good skiers aged U10-U16 (see GBSki for year-of-birth-based age groups). Athletes can attend the camp as an inlier (all-inclusive residential camp) or as an outlier (coaching on the hill each day only). We would encourage all athletes aged U12 and older to join on a residential (inlier) basis to get the most out of the camp. U10s are welcome as outliers, as well as any older trainees not joining as inliers. We do not normally take U8s on Alpine camps, and they cannot enter the races.
For both inliers and outliers, a £500 deposit per week is necessary to register for the camp. The remainder of the balance is due 2 weeks before the camp. All payments are by bank transfer.
Pricing
We want to keep our camps costs as low as possible, and are priced to break even. In some circumstances we may be able to reduce the price, depending on numbers and camp expenditure.
This camp is subject to minimum numbers – place your deposit now to avoid disappointment!
Inlier (residential camp)
£TBC per week
*If there is a lot of interest in the camp, we may be able to reduce this!

Insurance
Travel insurance, including specific cover for ski racing, is mandatory for all camp attendees (residential or not). You will need to provide proof (certificate of insurance). See our Camp Packing List for more information.
