Snow-Camp have been successfully supporting young people since 2003. Last year the young people we worked with transformed their lives.
Motivating young people to fully engage is the key to successful youth work and we have found that snowsports are incredibly attractive to inner-city young people, despite being out-of-reach for many. The opportunity to participate in snowsports acts as the tool with which we can effectively engage young people and maintain a positive involvement with them. This is achieved through our Programme Journey, which takes place at indoor snowsports centres in London, the North West, the Midlands and Scotland. Watch this short video to find out more about us.
Our programmes run from July-June each year. All young people must start at the beginning on First Tracks and have no prior snowsports experience. Find out more about our programmes below.
