The Organizing Committee of the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 2013 in Schladming (AUT) will not just stage the highlight event of the season from 4th to 17th February 2013, but will also carry out an International Youth Camp at the same time.
The camp will bring young people from around the world together to experience activities in the snow and to encourage their enthusiasm for snow sports - in particular through involvement in skiing. The focus is also on contributing to international understanding and to the creation and maintenance of friendly relations between the FIS member National Ski Associations. For the participating youngsters, the camp will be an opportunity to exchange views with youth from other nations on cultural and sporting levels.
The camp will consist of 100 participants with a program including skiing and visits to the World Championship competitions. It will also entail learning more about Schladming and the region of Styria.
The invitation has been sent to the FIS member National Ski Associations and many of them are coming up with creative ways of selecting their representatives.
