Skiing Program 2010

The 2010 Disabled Wintersports Australia ski camp will be held from Sunday 22nd August to Sunday 29th August 2010.  

Accommodation will be at Fisko’s Lodge which is located in the grounds of the Jindabyne Sport and Recreation Centre.

With the extra couple of days skiing this year and the opportunity to compete in the interschools competition, the cost will be $1600.  This will cover accommodation, meals, ski hire, lifts tickets, instructors and lessons.  This also covers the cost of transport from Sydney for those who need it.  If your family is dropping you off the cost will be less.

Please note:

DWA arranges the facilities, programs and qualified instructors for these camps.  The Special Olympics Winter Sports Coordinator collects all the papaerwork, liaising with DWA on bookings and coordinating athletes and carers to attend the camp.  The only exception to this rule is DWA Membership which ALL athletes and helpers must have.  This is to be sent to the DWA and details and forms can be dowloaded from www.disabledwintersport.com.au
