Program:
Get ready for extreme outdoor adventure. Jump into structured rock climbing, kayaking, hiking, orienteering, camping, mountaineering, and mountain biking. If you are 13 -17 years of age and think you are ready for something new and challenging, this camp is for you.

With some of Canada’s best rock climbing, hiking and mountain biking terrain, Whistler is an adventure seeker’s dream. You will join a small group of teens from around the world who, like you, are ready for more than what a standard summer camp offers. Together, you and your group will learn from the best as your experienced coaches teach you to climb, mountain bike, hike, kayak and camp in Whistler, Canada’s most exciting outdoor adventure playground.

In weeks 1 and 3 of program the emphasis is on mountain biking and what better is there to learn!  With North America's number one mountain bike park, Whistler is a mountain biker's dream. Join our crew of patient, professional coaches who will progressively introduce each participant to braking skills, cornering, riding position and graduated drops and jumps. We will split groups up according to their ability so everyone progresses properly. All levels welcome!

You’ll also learn important survival skills and first aid before heading off with staff and campers on a three-day wilderness sleepover in the Coastal Mountains. You will learn back country trip planning skills including gear selection, packing, meal planning, wilderness safety and first aid.

On certain weekends you have the option to try summer skiing and snowboarding on the Blackcomb Mountain Glacier. And when you are ready to cool off, you will head to the lake for your kayak lessons and a whole lot of fun!

We’ve also scheduled plenty of time for evening activities and excursions with campers in the other programs so get ready for the best summer of your life!
