BANFF TRAINING CAMP

2009

FIS Junior/Junior/Junior Development (DEVO) Fall Training Camp

 

PAYING FOR THE CAMP

First-make sure that Chuck gets your $150 (US) deposit by Saturday, October 31.

Paying for the costs of the camp is done on an idividual basis. Unlike summer camps, you will not pay a fee to cover all costs. Instead you will pay for what you need, idividually as you go. You will pay Chuck for two things:

1. Coach per diem (coach meals, lift tickets, transportation)

2. Norquay training fees (includes training space/lift tickets and lunches)-your $150 deposit will be applied towards these fees. You must be prepared to pay the difference in CANADIAN funds.

The above payments need to be made in CANADIAN FUNDS. Please plan on having some Canadian cash to cover coach per diem and Norquay training fees.

Besides these items, the best way to spend in Canada is with a credit or debit card!

 

MONEY MANAGEMENT

If you are sending your athlete to Banff with another family, it is a good idea to arrange to have that family help your athlete manage their money. Coaches can not be expected to keep track of money for each athlete.

PER DIEM

Per diem is the cost of coaches expenses divided by the athletes attending. This is included in the above figures

Per Diem can fluctuate depending on:

  • Number of athletes attending. The more athletes, the more the per diem costs are shared and thus reduced on an individual level.
