Our Programmes

We work with young people, aged 13-21, in London, Scotland, the North West and the Midlands.

Young people join us through local youth projects and youth service providers only.

Our Programmes

Our programmes are unique and attractive to young people, taking them from beginner to qualified snowsports instructors in one year with volunteering and apprenticeship progression routes available at the end. Alongside learning to ski or snowboard, young people also have access to life skills training and mental health support. Find out more about each course below.

First Tracks

The first course in our series of courses, which provides young people with their first experience of snowsports combined alongside life skills training.

More Info

Graduate

After completing First Tracks, young people can join Graduate where they will further develop their snowsports skills over 5 weekends. Young people attend life skills sessions, a mental wellbeing workshop and gain an ASDAN certificate in Sports and Fitness.

Attending Snow Camp gave me a routine, which really helped my mental health. I am now so confident in all aspects of life I can talk to anyone even large groups of people. Snow Camp has shown me that I can do anything I put my mind to, and that hard work and determination goes a long way. Snow Camp has been my saving grace, if it wasn’t for the charity, I really don’t believe I’d still be here.

Every young person should get the opportunity to join Snow Camp – it’s fun, it’s exciting, it’s challenging and most importantly, it is tailored expertly for young people from a range of challenging situations and communities. XLP have been referring young people to Snow Camp for several years now and we can’t recommend their courses enough.

Snow Camp train an individual to be able to control certain aspects of behaviour, to channel negative energy into positive energy and create the overall outcome of someone who could work in the same industry as me. That is one reasons why I choose to support Snow Camp.
