Garibaldi International Summer Ski Camp Information Package

A Garibaldi International Summer Ski Camp at Whistler Mountain information package of four pages. Page 1 features a picture of a skier and advertises guest coach Art Furrer. There is also information about the dates of the sessions, the camp and coaching staff, the locations, the instruction and the age range of participants. The second page gives short biographies of 4 coaches: Ornulf Johnsen, Art Furrer, Al Menzies and Joe Csizmazia. It also covers the purpose of the camp and details what kind of equipment to bring and insurance to have. The third page is an application form for the camp with a stapled attachment indicating the dates of the second session have been moved to July 1- July 10. The fourth page features three images: "The gondola-chairlift complex will take students up 4000 ft. to the upper T-bar slopes", "The 3/4 mile long T-bar will take students to 6420 ft. above sea level where snow conditions are good even in July", and "Ornulf Johnsen practices slalom on the upper slopes of Whistler Mountain." The fourth page also contains a letter from the director Ornulf Johnsen about the naming of the camp, qualifications necessary to attend, camp schedule, age limits, evening activities, supervision, and end of camp races.
