Bobsleigh Progression Camps

The Bobsleigh Pilot Development Program offers an exciting opportunity for youth and adults aged 16 and above who have successfully completed a Bobsleigh Foundation School (or equivalent). This program stream caters to individuals at all skill levels, ranging from novice sliders to high-performance development athletes who aspire to advance into Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton national programs or become a pilot for the Passenger Bobsleigh activity. With a focus on maximizing athlete potential, the program follows a systematic approach and provides a framework to support athletes as they progress along the development pathway.

Running from November to late March, the program features several multi-day intensive training camps. Athletes have the flexibility to participate in one, multiple, or all camps throughout the season. These full-day camps encompass a comprehensive training experience, including on-ice and off-ice coaching, strength and conditioning sessions, and equipment education. With experienced coaches leading the way, athlete safety, skill development and enjoyment of the sport are ensured (read more about our coaches here). Furthermore, camp participants can participate in provincial and national competitions held during the winter season.

For international athletes interested in sliding on the renowned Whistler track, the possibility of joining the program is available pending approval by the camp coach.
