FAQ

How are the groups decided?
By age and by what the coaches see in the first-morning assessment. Elite and development groups train separately. If a coach thinks an athlete would do better in the other group, they'll move them and tell you.
Can I cancel or move the booking?
Yes. Up to 60 days before the camp you can move to another camp, hand your place to someone else, or take the full amount as credit. We do not give cash refunds. From 30 days before the camp, bookings can no longer be changed.
What should we pack?
The packing list goes into your account 14 days before camp, with the final schedule and the check-in QR code.
Who looks after full-board athletes?
Certified staff are with them around the clock, and a camp manager stays at the hotel.
