Supervision, health and on-slope precautions.

How many children per coach?

A maximum of three athletes per coach. For ages 3.5-5 the training is one-on-one.

Is a helmet mandatory?

Yes, helmets are mandatory. For hygiene reasons each child brings their own helmet and goggles.

Equipment

1 questions

What we provide and what to bring from home.

Which equipment is included?

For parents

2 questions

Updates, communication and post-camp feedback.

Can I get updates during the camp?

A WhatsApp group is created at the start of each camp and daily photos and videos are shared there. We ask parents not to contact children during lessons so their focus is not broken.

Is there a development report after the camp?

Yes. Every child is tracked individually, and after the camp families receive feedback on technical progress and social participation.

Training

4 questions

Levels, coaches and the development pathway.

What qualifications do the coaches hold?

All of our coaches hold antrenör certificates approved by the Turkish Ski Federation.

How does a child join the race team?

Selection camps are held at the start and end of each season for the youth and Let’s Race teams. Let’s Race athletes then follow an annual training and race plan.

How do you decide which level my child joins?

We take the child’s age and skiing experience at registration. On the first day of camp the coaches assess their level on snow and place them in the right group. The group can still change during the camp — the point is for each child to progress at their own pace.

How long does it take to complete a level?

Each level has a defined total: 12 hours for Junior, 24 for Beginner, 36 for Intermediate and 60 for Advanced. Those hours build up across the season rather than in a single camp. Moving up is not about filling the hours — it happens when the coach confirms the level’s outcomes are met.
