September Indoor Camp
Fri 19 – Mon 22 Sep 2025
Peer, BEL
Indoor camps provide a consistent environment to make technical & tactical changes in slalom without worrying about the weather or snow conditions. It’s little wonder why national teams from around the globe flock to Peer. The slope is long enough for a full slalom with some decent pitch (without being too aggressive!), some flat, and terrain changes. There are 4 training lanes with increasingly hard snow, from soft, forgiving conditions on lane 4, to pure ice on lane 1. The short turnaround time means lots of laps, so training is split into intensive 2-hour blocks.
Indoor camps are not just about the skiing, though. Our base has loads of sports facilities and outside space to do afternoon fitness, and a huge ski room for tuning & workshops. The conditions on the slope means everyone will be an expert at ski tuning by the end of the camp, as razor-sharp edges are essential!
About The Camp
Staff
Head Coach Calum Shepherd leads the team for this camp. Check out our coaching team here »
House parent arrangements for this camp are TBC. All camp staff will provide support with schoolwork where possible.
Join This Camp
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.
For both inliers and outliers, a £500 deposit 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.

More About This Camp
Team Base
SSC staff and inliers will be staying at the Hotel de Watermolen near Peer. The snow dome is a 15 minute drive from there. The hotel is where the British team stay when they train in Peer over the summer, along with dozens of other teams from across the world, so it’s perfect for our camp.
Travel
Accompanied flights are available for inliers. You are responsible for booking these and should do so after receiving confirmation of your camp place. This confirmation will include instructions and all the details (inc. booking refs) you need.
Flights are to Dusseldorf Weeze airport (NRN), around a 1.5 hour drive from the hotel.
Outbound: Fri 19 Sep, Ryanair FR5867, 0545 EDI – NRN 0820, accompanying adult TBC
Return: Mon 22 Sep, Ryanair FR5688 1905 NRN – EDI 1945, accompanying adult TBC
Airport transfers to/from the team base are included for all inliers.
Luggage
The team van will be travelling to Peer for this camp. We can take skis + poles (not in bags), and luggage, for £20 per pair/item of luggage each way. This is available for all camp attendees, subject to space being available in the van. Please, no loose items.
Kit can be dropped off for travel out in Edinburgh (and other locations TBC). The van will leave Edinburgh at the start of the week (around 15/16 Sept), so equipment must be with the van by then. Space is offered first-come, first-serve and must be pre-booked.
The van will likely then stay in Europe ahead of the October camp, meaning kit would not be returning to the UK until the end of October. Any kit which needs to stay on to go to Hintertux is free of charge.
Equipment
Please ensure you are familiar with our Camp Packing List. Note that this is a slalom-only camp, so none of the GS/SG equipment listed is necessary.
