As a part of the XCSO Excellence Camps program for 2025 Team Hardwood will be holding four training camps this summer, fall and winter open to other selected SOD U20, U18 and perhaps U16 athletes who do not have a regular daily training environment (DTE) and who have the training background to handle the training load in these camps.

The purpose of these camps is to offer to these selected skiers the opportunity to enhance their training opportunities and DTE to help them to represent their clubs and SOD at a higher level next racing season.

Camp #3 will be held in the Hardwood Ski and Bike area on Thanksgiving weekend (October 11-13) that will be open to more skiers in these age categories. This camp will focus more on high intensity and race pace training either roller skiing or hill walking. There will be some testing involved in the camp using the new XCSO testing protocol.
