Unrivaled Variety - With a variety of multi-day experiences we have something for each of you.

Elite Coaches - Alta's camp coaches are passionate Alta ski teaching veterans with the skills to help skiers improve and have a great time while doing it.
The Classroom - Our snow and terrain need no introduction—that's where the memories are made. Alta camps also employ video analysis and indoor educational content to enhance the learning experience.
The Secrets - Twenty years of camps have revealed a couple of secrets about what's essential to a great experience—continuity and community. Continuity = multiple days with a consistent group, coach, theme and goals. Community = a collective of like-minded skiers united in a shared pursuit and with a similar appreciation for Alta, and for great skiing.
When these variables converge, performance goals are met, relationships are formed and memories are made. This is the center of the skiing universe. Come see for yourself.
