Camp Fortune Ski Racing Club

What Camp Fortune Ski Racing Club does

Camp Fortune Ski Racing Club is a federally incorporated Canadian non-profit alpine ski racing organization, founded in 1910 as the Ottawa Ski Club and operating under its current form since 2006 following the merger of two competitive ski programs. It is the largest alpine race club in the National Capital Region, based at Camp Fortune Ski Resort in Chelsea, Quebec, on National Capital Commission lands in Gatineau Park, approximately 15 minutes from downtown Ottawa. The club produces a tiered program ladder spanning athletes aged 7 to 21, anchored by the entry-level Nancy Greene non-competitive program (ages 7-13) and progressing through U10, U12, U14, U16, and U18+ competitive racing programs aligned with Alpine Canada's Long Term Athlete Development framework.

The club's product surface consists of seasonal membership (CAD $50 per family per season, covering all athletes in a household), tiered program registration fees that are not publicly disclosed, and optional enhanced training camps at external destinations including Sun Peaks, Jay Peak, Mont Tremblant, and Mont Ste Anne. Operational delivery is supported by over 40 coaches led by Head Coach Alec Wright and dedicated lead coaches per age tier, plus an elected board of directors under President Erica Corsi. Programmatic integration runs through Alpine Canada (ACA), Alpine Ontario Alpin (AOA), Ski Québec Alpin (SQA), the National Capital Division (NCD), and the FIS ecosystem, with the club selected to host Men's and Women's FIS Slalom Races at Camp Fortune in 2026.

Revenue mechanics are subscription-style at the membership level and service-based for enhanced training and camps; program fee schedules are not publicly disclosed and no financials are available. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the club website, supplemented by email newsletters and Facebook/Instagram channels, with provincial sports organizations (AOA SnowReg and SQA participant card) acting as registration intermediaries for competitive athletes. Customer segments are dual-province (Ontario and Quebec), supported by bilingual programming, and the club operates financial assistance partnerships with KidSport Ontario/Ottawa and Jumpstart to broaden accessibility.
