About Us

Snow Camp was founded in 2003.

At the time our Founder, Dan Charlish, was working as a youth worker on an estate in Stockwell. He overheard his group saying, whilst playing a snowboarding X-Box game, that this was the closest they were ever going to get to snowsports. A snowboarder himself, Dan realised that snowsports could be the mechanism to bring about positive social change for his young people. The shift from inner-city estate to the mountain environment was so extreme, that in itself created a response in young people, widening their horizons and raising their aspirations.

In 2007, Snow Camp evolved from residential trips abroad into a UK based training programme taking place at indoor snow centres across the country. Now young people head to the mountains once a year as part of their instructor training on our Excel course. Since 2007, Snow Camp has continued to grow and mental health support has now become a key component to our work alongside life skills training, qualifications and volunteering opportunities.
