About Snow-Camp
Snow-Camp is an innovative youth charity that uses a unique combination of skiing, snowboarding and life-skills programmes to support inner-city young people.
Through the combination of snowsports and life-skills, our programmes enable young people to grow in confidence and self esteem, develop as individuals and make positive choices for their lives.
Snow-Camp programmes also enable young people to reflect on the key issues impacting their day to day lives, and help them develop new skills to support their futures – particularly towards careers in the snowsport industry.
Snow-Camp has grown steadily from 2003 and now works with at least 400 young people each year across 12 London Boroughs. Our vision is to expand Snow-Camp to other cities across the UK and bring the success of our approach to benefit many more inner-city young people.

I believe Snow-Camp is simply a fantastic idea, opening up snowsports to young people who could only dream about skiing or snowboarding. I love skiing and think such an idea deserves as much support as it can be given to grow even moreKwame Nkrumah-Acheampong, 'The Snow Leopard'
