XCSO is pleased to offer a comprehensive camps program for Ontario athletes. This page is dedicated to the Excellence Camps hosted in each district. Information about the camps program is included in the
2024-2025 Team Ontario Excellence Documents
.
Excellence Camps (U20/U18/U16, and U14 by invitation)
provide Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) appropriate training opportunities, and exposure to a high performance training and learning environment for Ontario athletes and coaches. These multi-day camps may be run in conjunction with an existing club camp, or as a stand-alone camp and are directly supported by XCSO. The goal is to offer at least one Excellence Camp in each District. They are typically 3 to 4 days long. There are multiple Excellence Camp opportunities throughout the dryland season.

SOD Excellence Camps
Lead Coach: Jack Sasseville
As a part of the XCSO Excellence Camps program for 2025 Team Hardwood will be holding four training camps this summer, fall and winter that are open to other selected SOD U20, U18 and perhaps U16 athletes who do not have a regular daily training environment (DTE) and who have the training background to handle the training load in these camps.
The purpose of these camps is to offer to these selected skiers the opportunity to enhance their training opportunities and DTE to help them to represent their clubs and SOD at a higher level next racing season.
