Advanced Kids Camp
Big terrain. Big skills. Big adventure. For expert kids who want to ski and ride it all.
Advanced Kids Camp
Advanced Kids Camp is for young skiers and riders who live for steeps, glades and fast lines, and are ready to explore everything Sugarbush has to offer. Formerly known as Catamount Adventure Camp, this program is designed for kids ages 10-15 who are already confident on expert terrain and eager to push their skills further.
Led by Sugarbush’s most experienced children’s coaches, Advanced Kids Camp balances progression with pure adventure. Campers spend the day exploring steeps, bumps, trees, natural features and terrain parks - with each group’s terrain and objectives tailored to the ability and interest of the kids. Whether they’re hunting powder stashes or perfecting line choice through a bump run, every turn is part of the journey.
With a small group ratio (no more than 5–6 campers per coach), kids receive personalized instruction and plenty of time to explore. Coaches may be on skis, board or telemark gear. They bring a deep understanding of mountain safety, tactical movement, and group dynamics.
Important: Participants must be advanced skiers or riders comfortable on expert terrain. Children may be reassigned to a more appropriate program if they aren’t quite ready to meet the terrain and pace of the camp.

Dress in waterproof layers and bring well-tuned gear suited to your ability and program focus (e.g. all-mountain skis for Summit Sessions). Helmets are required for participants under 14 (but we recommend everyone wear one). We also recommend bringing water, snacks and a positive attitude!
