Working in partnership with Snow Camp we have been able to provide disadvantaged young people across our Youth Zones with experiences they will never forget and enables them to achieve more than they ever thought was possible, raising their aspirations, learning new skills and developing a strong sense of self belief. It’s a partnership we value hugely and we hope will grow and flourish into the future.

If I hadn’t got involved with Snow Camp I would be in a lot of trouble for doing the wrong things with the wrong people. Not because of who I am but because of the influence on the the estates. With no real direction or ambition it’s easy to get sucked into a lifestyle so many people around you are living. Snow Camp has helped me to have a positive future and now I have a full time job in the snowsports industry!

I have Asperger's Syndrome and a chronic illness called CFS/ME. Snow Camp has been a life changing opportunity that has completely changed how I see myself and I have learnt that I can push myself further than I ever thought possible. Snow Camp is a welcome respite from my responsibilities at home, both physically and emotionally. I have discovered a profound passion for snowboarding, and I can’t wait to further develop my skills.

I love the way Snow Camp uses my sport to support young people who wouldn't ever get the chance to get involved in snowsports – and beyond that, to enable them to get qualifications and access to employment in the snowsports industry. I’m so honoured to be on board as a patron.
