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

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.

Andy Bell CEO, AJ Bell
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.
