Park City, UT - Silver medalist Brett Camerota, a member of the team that earned the first-ever U.S. medal in the Olympic Nordic Combined team relay in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada last month, will be at the Utah Olympic Park in Park City on Friday to meet aspiring kid athletes in his own hometown.


Friday is the last day of the season for both the “Utah Olympic Park Heber Afterschool Program” and the Park City School District “Get Out and Play” afterschool program, which is coordinated with the Youth WinterSports Alliance. These programs reach out to students in the Heber and Park City elementary schools, giving children the opportunity to experience and develop sport skills in freestyle and freeride skiing, and Nordic ski jumping.

While growing up in Park City, Camerota was no stranger to these community programs and the Utah Olympic Park. He and his twin brother, Eric, took up Nordic jumping at the age of six and became involved in the National Sports Foundation, Park City Nordic Ski Club.

During the final afterschool session on Friday, Camerota will have the opportunity to give back to his hometown community while the children actively participating will have a chance to connect with one of their heroes, get an autograph, have a photo taken and drink hot chocolate.
