Sports programs for all skill levels in bobsleigh, skeleton, and luge are available, including introductory sessions for beginners, multi-day progression camps and full-season training programs. Qualified and passionate coaches look after everyone, from first-timers to experienced athletes. On-ice training is available from October to late March, and off-season strength & conditioning sessions are offered through spring, summer, and fall.

Where to Start

For luge and skeleton, the ideal first step into sliding is signing up for an introductory "Discover" session. No experience is required for these one-time sessions that give a first taste of the sports. Participants meet the coaches, learn about the sport, equipment, and learn to slide programming, and even get to slide down a small portion of the track. For bobsleigh, please get in touch with our team (see phone/email below) to explore options on how to join our bobsleigh program.
