FAQs
What should I wear?
As for all lessons and camps we recommend weather appropriate clothing that covers your hands, arms and legs.
Trousers should be loose fitting around the ankle to go over the ski boot.
Long sleeves are required along with a pair of gloves (can be purchased for £2 at reception).
For the ski and race camps ensure that participants have a change of clothing, and trainers for the afternoon activities as they will be going between tubing and other fun and games.
What ski ability level do I need to be?
RACE TRAINING AND RACE CAMPS
You must be a confident parallel skier or in our final levels for group lessons (Grizzly Bears for juniors or Level 4 for adults) to join race training. If you are unsure about this please contact reception on 01782 204159.
HOLIDAY SKI CAMPS
All abilities are catered for at our Kids Holiday Camps although if they are completely new to skiing they MUST attend the first day of the relevant camp as that is when we run the introduction to skiing lessons.
We cannot cater for snowboarding at our Holiday Camps.
When are the race training sessions and do I need to book?
RACE TRAINING
Race training runs weekly on Tuesdays (6:30pm – 8:30pm) and Saturdays (12:45pm – 2:45pm).
Weekly sessions do not require pre-booking but if it is your first session please contact us on 01782 204159 or send a message to stoke.scorpions@gmail.com.

Can anyone join the camps?
RACE CAMPS
Our race camps have a minimum age of 8 years old and are for experienced ski racers. If you are unsure please contact reception on 01782 204159 or send a message to stoke.scorpions@gmail.com to register your interest.
HOLIDAY SKI CAMPS
Minimum age is 6 years old, and the child must be able to look after themselves although being supervised
What food and drink do they need for a ski or race camp?
Lunch is an option between a self provided packed lunch or a hot meal from the onsite cafe for £5 per day per child.
We do supply jugs of juice and water gor the children but we do recommend that children have a water bottle, snacks and treats for the short breaks as the day is incredibly energy consuming.
What are the drop off and collection times?
Morning drop off is at 9:15am and collection is 4:3pm, but as we understand these times are not always suitable.
We are onsite from 9:00am until 5:00pm so if you arrive a little ealy or are slightly delayed we will still look after the children.
You are welcome to spend the day at the Ski Centre watching you child(ren) progress or you can arrive after 4:00pm to watch the final sessions of skiing.
