Have you ever wanted to try biathlon but weren’t sure where to start?

The Crowsnest Nordic Ski Club is offering EcoAims Biathlon Spring Open Camp 2026. This event is a great chance to give it a go in a fun, relaxed setting. This is a low key, no pressure biathlon event where you can experience the thrills and even the occasional spills that make biathlon so exciting.

EcoAims “rifles” will be used, so safe, optical rifle systems that do not fire projectiles and no firearms experience is needed. Coaches from Crowsnest Nordic will walk participants through a How To Biathlon session, followed by an interval start time trial to test new skills and relay races. Also, will introduce fun dryland training.
