This year, NZSki has provided Ski Camps for all the Whakatipu basin schools with limited numbers available at each Year level. We recommend that you act quickly in booking these camps. Please note that NZSki will not put more camps on for anyone that misses out. NZ Ski
We’re excited to advise you of the NZSki Winter Sports programme for 2023. The NZSki booking portal is now available to all parents of the Wakatipu Basin Schools, and spaces will no doubt fill up quickly.
There are changes to be aware of, especially in relation to mountain transport, so please read the information below carefully.
Here is the link to the NZ Information: NZSKI Information 2023
Some key things for our school:
- Many camps are based at Remarkables Skifield and QPS is not a pickup point for those camps meaning that parents will need to arrange their own transport to either a pickup point or the mountain (please note that if you drop your child at one of these schools, it is not the responsibility of that school to look after your child). We are not intending to have a QPS staff member on the Remarkable Skifield Camps, and therefore we strongly encourage our families not to book these camps.
- There is one Enduro Camp at Coronet Peak on the 23-25 August for Years 5-8, this Enduro Camp will be geared towards high-performance alpine skiing and off-piste terrain and will not have a park ski element.
