PROGRAM INFORMATION

Our Progression Camp is a training program designed for athletes who are used to consistent coaching & want to continue to develop their all-mountain riding skills. The programs are available for Intermediate – Expert level riders only and run for 10 days over a 14-day period. We operate a total of 3 Progression Camps each season.
Our Kids Week – Offers kids the opportunity to learn and progress their skiing and snowboarding skills over 5 consecutive days in Niseko’s first committed weekly program. The commitment of the same coach & same kids in the weekly class provides a superior learning experience.

Full Day Programs (Rhythm Futures, Kids Week, Progression Programs & Spring Camps)
Each training day will include a 1-hour lunch break. Depending on the ages of the group, and how each group is handling the conditions the coach may take additional breaks during the day as needed.
Mini Futures Program
Will typically take a 15-minute break during the middle of the session to rehydrate, and use the bathroom. This is also a good time for your little one to have a snack and energise, so we recommend packing some snacks.
For the Kids Week program, the location will depend on which level your kids are assigned.
Levels 1 to 4, will have lunch at Elements. The lunch will include a balanced diet from Monday to Friday with side dishes, beverages and fruit as dessert. The weekly menu will be available shortly.
All Futures Seasonal Programs will have lunch at Elements as well.
Progression Camps and levels 4 to 6 of Kids Week will have lunch on the mountain at King Bell. They will be able to select a variety of options from the menu. Options change seasonally however typically these will include a drink plus a main meal of Ramen, Katsu Curry, Hamburger set or Vegetable Curry
Please fill out the medical release form. Our Kids Manager will then check in with you on the program’s first day to confirm any additional information needed to ensure the best care for your child.
