Summer ski camps

Have any of you gone to those summer ski camps? like High North or Camp of Champions?  I was looking at them and was wondering if they're worth paying like $2,500 for.  Do they actually help you alot or is it just like an expensive waste of time?

its definitely worth it, you meet pros and learn new tricks, meet awesome people and if you go to whistler, the village is a cool place and you can check out all of next seasons skis

I think it'd be fun however, I can get 4 seasons passes and still have money for gas for the same price as 1 week of skiing.

i pay for camp myslef. and my plane tix and all my spending money...and my seasons pass, and gas to go skiing all year. so yea not eveyone who goes to camp is a spoiled brat, some people work thier asses off all year while carrying a full course load, making deans list, and skiing in order to be able to go.

ya and some ppl are just like you...work 40 hr weeks while going to skool, but then this goes back to the rich thing, if ure parents wernt rich then they wouldnt be able to pay for ure skooling without you helping, so you would have to use some of ure money for tuition and food so then u wouldnt be able to go
