Summer Programs

NEW! For the first time in Gould summer programs, the incredible ski building class---for adults only!

 

8/7-8/11 SIGN UP HERE

Day Option Only

Ages 18+

 

This week long adult class condenses the ski building class into one week so you can hit the trails next winter.

 

Prior to camp, you will consult with Billy Ayotte to select your ski type and design your custom wood veneer top sheet. At camp, you are ready to assemble, press, and finish your skis.  After the week is over, your skis will be sent off for base grinding for an initial tune, then ready for pick up (or shipping). 

 

The building workshop runs from 9AM to 4PM and when not working on your new skis, you are free to explore! Bring your bike and explore Bethel’s growing trail network, visit the local taverns for excellent food, float down the river, fish blue ribbon stretches of the Androscoggin, and explore local swim holes.  Bethel is a destination for adventure and Gould is at the center! 

Our summer dryland camp is focused on empowering female athletes by providing them with the skills to become the strongest version of themselves during the off-season.

As the fastest-growing discipline of cycling, Enduro is all about skills, speed, and fun—it can be as laid back or competitive as each individual rider chooses to make it.

 

Gould Enduro Mountain Bike campers will spend two days learning and training on Gould’s Pine Hill trail system, including our pump track, before spending the next two days at Mt Abram Bike Park. At Mt. Abram Bike Park riders will have the opportunity to utilize the lift service to rip miles of purpose-built gravity trails.

 

As Enduro grows, more and more mountain bike trails are being designed with lines and features to thoroughly test a rider's complete skillset. At this camp, our USA Cycling certified coaches provide riders with the tools necessary to improve their skills and build confidence on the bike, which will lead to more enjoyable, safer, and more efficient riding.

 

Fitness and endurance are required to safely and enjoyably participate in the sport. We ride multiple hours each day of camp, and our coaches address ways to build your fitness during rides.

 

Full-face helmets and full-suspension mountain bikes are strongly recommended. A comprehensive Information Packet with a full list of recommended gear to bring will be emailed to all registrants 2 to 3 weeks before camp begins.

Bring it all together at Nordic Training Camp!

We’re not waiting for winter, and neither should you!

Skiers are built in the summer and Gould’s Nordic Camp is a fun way to kick off summer training right. Our experienced staff will take you on adventures while honing your endurance, strength, and skills. We’ll have a variety of activities from rollersking to running, biking to bounding, agility courses to multisport adventures, and a whole lot more.

 

We’ll also play lots of games and hit as many crystal-clear water holes as we can. You’ll get some nutrition tips and our coaches will provide you with a summer training plan if you don’t have one. But best of all, you’ll meet other skiers from around the state and country while enjoying the best that Western Maine has to offer.
