ABOUT THE CAMP

What? Behind What! Summer Camp are Freeride World Champion Henrik Windstedt and freeskier David Kantermo. The camp offers great skiing in one of of Europe’s greatest parks at the glacier of Folgefonna in Norway. WHAT! Summer Camps also offer back country skiing for those who want.

For who? WHAT! Summer Camp  is a camp for all skilovers from age 11 and up. Both girls and boys, kids and grown up’s are welcome! As the skills and ages of our campers can vary we have the possibility to have different groups adapted to different needs. All campers under the age of 18 need an approval from their parents telling they can be a part of the camp.

Coaches: We are very proud to have our great coaches: Niklas Eriksson, Klaus Finne and Sigbjörn Tveit are our pro-coaches. Ofcourse Henrik Windstedt and David Kantermo will be coaching as well.

Activities: Off slope there are a bunch of great activities to take on: Water ramp skiing, trampolines, beach volleyball, cliff jumping into the great fjord of Folgefonna, football tournaments, skateboarding and much more.

Drug free!! WHAT! Summer Camp is a 100% drug free camp.

Travel arrengements: New for this year is that arrival day is Monday, this as it seems easier to find cheap and convenient flight times on Monday’s to Bergen Airport. Departure days are Sunday’s. As many campers arrives and leaeves at different times there are no scheduled acitivities or skiing these days. The rest of the week is full of shredding and activites!

Henrik Windstedt, Freeride World Champion 2008:

- Our goal is to make the best summer camp in Europe. We’re offering great skiing, individual coaching and activities such as water ramps, volleyball and skateboarding. It will be the best place to hang out this summer, for sure.

 

David Kantermo, head coach Norweigan Freestyle Ski Team:

- The combination of mountain and sea (fjord) makes Folgefonna a unique and fantastic place. Two years ago Fonna had 13 meters of snow in June, even though its one of Europes lowest glaciers. The park, shaped by Emil Fossheim is by far the best park to ride in at this time of the year. Last summer you could ride no less than 13 rails and 6 jumps in one run! In the afternoons you can jump from cliffs down to the fjord, jump on the trampolines, play beach volleyball, go skateboarding or just relax and wait for another great day on the slope.
