Multi-day ski camps

Welch Carver Camps

Multi-day ski camps taught on the PMTS Direct Parallel system, the only licensed program of its kind in the country.

Welch Village is the only licensed PMTS Direct Parallel® ski school in the country. PMTS Direct Parallel® is unique – it’s a complete modern teaching system that does not use the wedge or “snow plow.” All movements taught in our system utilize modern ski design and create and maintain balance. The system teaches expert skiing movements to all ability levels using Student Centered Ski Instruction™  which uses a student’s needs and motivations to design a learning environment

About Welch Carver Camps

Carvers is the signature kids ski program at Welch Village. The two day Carver Camp is for children and adults who want to improve technique, understand their own skiing and build confidence on more terrain.

Camps are taught on the PMTS Direct Parallel system with individual coaching in a low instructor to student ratio. Welch Village is the only licensed PMTS Direct Parallel ski school in the country.

Carvers is not a beginner program. Students must be able to ride the chairlift without the assistance of an adult and already ski green runs while controlling speed and making turns.

Students who do not meet these requirements will be asked to enroll in another lesson program and will be required to pay added fess in order to process a transfer or a refund.

Looking for the full season program instead? See Welch Carvers. Snowboarding? See Welch Shredders Camps.
