Freestyle / Freeskiing / Snowboarding

Our water ramp camps provide athletes a safe an effective way to develop jumps before they attempt them on snow. Athletes spend the three- or five-day camps perfecting tricks on the trampolines and then don their skis to practice those tricks into the water from specially designed jumps.

KMS water ramp camps take place in Lake Placid, N.Y., at the Olympic Jump Center. The OJC is a world-class ski-jumping and freestyle training facility that includes four water ramps and three trampolines.

Summer Water Ramp Camps operate Sunday afternoon through Thursday afternoon. The first day of Summer Camps is a drop off day only! Summer Camps drop off is Sunday, 3 p.m. at Lyseks. Pick up is Thursday, 3 p.m. at the Olympic Jumping Center.

Fall Water Ramp Camps operate Friday morning through Sunday afternoon. Fall Camps drop off is Friday, 8 a.m. at the Olympic Jumping Center. Pick up is Sunday, 12 p.m. at the Olympic Jumping Center.
