Register & Get A Free RED Helmet

RED has come on board as the Official Helmet Sponsor of the Camp of Champions so to celebrate we're giving a free RED Helmet to everyone who signs up for Day Camp of Overnight Camp in the next two weeks. The Camp of Champions, is home to what is the largest and best Slopestyle Park in the world every summer, and is where you want to be this summer. Having the ability to ski a park double the size of any other camp's park in Whistler - a park that is so packed full of hits, features and rails that you can connect into so many different lines in a single run that Jeff Schmuck and Mr. Bishop say "there's 25,000 hits" (There isn't that many but it feels like it)This and our amazing coaches is what make The Camp of Champions so special.
