NEW - for the first time in Gould summer programs, the incredible ski making class that Gould students are raving about!
Gould Academy has been running one of America's best ski-building courses for high school students for nearly a decade. Join Gould Ideas Director Billy Ayotte as you design and fabricate your very own set of working skis or a snowboard!
This camp is a chance for adults to experience this course and build a pair of alpine skis through Gould’s IDEAS Center and the Custom Ski Building program.
You will meet with your camp leader, select your ski type and design your ski’s custom wood veneer top sheet before arrival. Upon arrival you will be ready to assemble, press, and finish your ski over five days. After the week is over, your skis will be sent off to be base ground and get their initial tune, ready to be shipped or picked up. These skis will look great on the trail and on the wall as a piece of art.
When not working on your new skis, you are free to explore the wonders of the Western Mountain of Maine. Bring your bike and explore Bethel’s growing trail network, visit the local taverns for excellent food, float down the river, and explore local swim holes with your group or just enjoy a relaxing afternoon at a local Café. Gould Academy is at the heart of Bethel and offers many activities as Bethel continues to grow into a summer destination for the outdoors enthusiast.
