XC Super Camps

SuperHero Lisa

We are often asked by people who have not skied with us “why do you call it a Supercamp.” It is said a picture is worth a thousand words. Pictured above is coach Lisa Perry. She represents the kind of feeling which XC Supercamp is all about – “feeling super!”

This enthusiasm is shared amongst our entire team who are committed to you experiencing just how “super” the skiing at Sovereign Lake – Silver Star really is. Or have you experience first hand just how “super dedicated ” the team of coaches and instructors are to see you reach your skiing goals and enjoy your time with us.

XC Supercamp is more than just a ski improvement cross country camp – it’s been a special place for nearly 30 years where skiers from all over North America come to start their winter seasons on the right track .

Promote the development of healthy competition and training patterns.
