Summer Development Camp
Train, Explore, and Conquer the Peaks
Join us for an unforgettable summer training experience at Sugar Bowl Academy’s Cross Country Summer Development Camp! Designed for motivated young athletes, this camp blends high-altitude training, skill development, and adventure in the stunning mountains of the Sierra Nevada.
This is not just a training camp—it’s a journey into the wild! Campers will hike to breathtaking peaks, ride mountain trails on bikes, swim in alpine lakes, and push their limits in one of the most beautiful natural settings in California.
Located at 6,900 feet in the heart of the Sugar Bowl Resort, campers will train in pristine nature while building fitness, confidence, and friendships.
