Frozen Thunder Super Camp 2014
The Story:The Alberta World Cup Academy started in 2008 as an independent organization dedicated to helping athletes with a dream to reach their potential. The AWCA created a team with quality coaching and technical support to ensure that athletes had a level playing field against all international competitors. In partnership with NDC Thunder Bay and the CVTC, we had the idea to create an interactive training camp for top-level junior athletes from across the country. Every year, the loop of stored snow in Canmore called Frozen Thunder has attracted more and more interest from ski racers and coaches from across the country. We saw this as a unique setting to create a camp that not only helps kids to become better racers, but to inspire future National Team skiers and Olympic Champions. From October 20-26th, junior athletes from Quebec, Ontario, Alberta, BC and the Yukon will be training and living side by side. They will be training with and learning from our National Team athletes. They will be fine tuning their technique with some of the best coaches we have ever had in Canada. Most importantly, they will be building friendships that will last the rest of their lives. We want to create a platform that inspires these young athletes to do great things in sport and life. Your support will go directly into camp rewards and recognition to complement the professional expertise in place. Our goal is to raise enough money to supply the athletes with some cool camp shirts and hats that highlights their accomplishment and participation. We also want to provide some special awards (Suunto HR monitor, poles, roller skis) that recognize leadership skills and hard work. By supporting this campaign, you are supporting Canadian development initiatives. We want this camp to grow and become something that motivates future generations of skiers for years to come. Your contribution will be a big part of inspiring these young athletes as they continue to pursue their dreams and aspirations.
