BUSC (The British Universities Snowsports Council) has just released details about its new event, the BUSC Summer Session, in association with Kommunity camps.

The course is aimed at students looking to improve their freestyle and freeride skills in a relaxed but professional atmosphere.

Dan Craig from BUSC2003 told Natives the Summer Session has been designed to offer students the chance to experience "the joys of summer riding at a price they can afford".

The camp is also part of BUSC's preparations for the World Student Games, to be held in Tarvisio, Italy next year.

Coaching for the camp is led by Neil McNab from McNab Mountain sports who has run Kommunity Freeride Camps for six years. He will be supported by a team of BASI instructors and some of the most exciting pro boarders and skiers currently around on the British scene.

Morning coaching sessions will cover the half-pipe and the rails and kickers of the Deux Alpes funpark. Afternoons will include various activities such as white water rafting, mountain boarding and also 'less extreme' sports like golf and tennis. There'll also be plenty of opportunities to relax by the pool and enjoy the summer sun.
