EcoAims Biathlon and Roller Ski Camp

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

The Cypress Nordic Ski Club is offering EcoAims Biathlon 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 Cypress 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.

Also, we will introduce the Roller Ski Try-it Session in the afternoon.
