winter camp
Cold-weather base
Winter camp is a residential program for children or teens during winter school break, typically offering skiing, snowboarding, or other cold-weather activities.
It parallels summer camp but takes advantage of seasonal conditions: The kids are going to winter camp in Vermont this year.
The term also describes a temporary cold-season settlement, especially in historical or wilderness contexts: The expedition established winter camp before the first snow.
