This email will help you plan a fun & productive week at Tichy Spring Camp. Below we've shared the weekly plan, daily schedule, and the dryland plan with locations and more. Pay special attention to all links; they will provide directions, videos, and photos. Keep this email handy to reference ALL week.

We are excited to have you join us for the return of the Mt. Hood Spring Camp. Please take a few minutes to read and familiarize yourself with our weekly plan.

Weather, conditions, and racer endurance may impact the daily schedule. We will communicate changes in regular nightly email blasts and cover any minor changes at in-person nightly team meetings for Full Time Athletes (FT) and via Zoom for Day Camp (DC). Please reply by email (include the camp session number) with any additional email addresses you would like added to the nightly communications.

Feel free to reach out with any questions at any time before arrival. See you at camp.

Meal Planning, Travel, and Tichy Gear for the Week

Full Time Camp (FT) with Tichy Racing includes all meals, local transportation, lodging, dryland, and video review sessions. Full Camp (in-house racers) are expected at all team meetings, nightly meetings, camp activities, training, and room checks. All scheduling details will be covered with Full Camp participants daily, repeated, and reinforced.

Day Camp (DC) racers are enrolled in training (with lift tickets included) and have the opportunity to attend all dryland and video review sessions. Day Camp racers can add on local transportation and even meals for the duration of camp.

• Tuesday PM Night Dinner at Mt. Hood Brewing Company - Full Time Racers & staff will receive a special voucher for dinner.

• Thursday PM - Tichy Racing Water Bottles, Hoodies, Cotopaxi Windbreakers, Cotopaxi Rain Jackets, Tichy Logo Soft-shells (NEW 2026), and Tichy “Race Bib” (NEW 2026) are for sale, and pick-up your camp includes a free t-shirt. These are available starting at 4:15 PM at 89311 E. Government Camp Loop. Our 2026 Gerry Soft-shells and Cotopaxi windbreakers are ideal for Oregon and summer skiing; they add some color and visibility to your skiing. Our new 2026 Tichy Race Bibs are a race-day favorite and a souvenir to use for years of future training wherever you may go.

• Monday PM “last camp dinner” is back at Timberline Y’Bar for 2026. DC participants and parents are invited to join our FT racers and staff for a great meal; this is a fantastic opportunity for everyone to come together in an amazing setting for delicious artisan pizza. Reservations will be required via SignUpGenius at least 72 hours in advance. Individual payment for DC racers and parents will be made at the restaurant.

Thank you for being the best part of Tichy Racing. Summer Camp may be our family favorite, yet we offer ski camps for every season, for any reason. Racers staying over for another week or more will enjoy a day of rest, a hammock with supervision inside the Mt. Hood National Forest, eat lunch with friends, and do laundry in Government Camp.
We look forward to training with you and making sure your experience is memorable.
