I already looked at the threads that exist on this subject however, none of them say anything about adult camps or how the camps are if you are over the age of 21. If anyone can suggest the best camp…I want to have a good time but I also want to learn so…. let me know! It is the time of year to choose a camp and save the money!!
im personally not 21, but i was at coc this summer and i hung out most of the time with a 23 yr old and a 21 yr old and they had an awesome time for sure. they said they were worried about the age difference and all that and they say looking bcak on it that they didnt have to be worried at all and it was fine with the age difference and everything
high north has a specific adult camp for 19 and over. they get nicer dinners some of the nights, and booze it up together and whatnot. seemed pretty fun.
Thanks...I’m not really worried about the age difference i am just looking to maximize the experience and if that means being able to go out on the town then so be it...but i am up for anything as long as i get better
momentum has an adult camp that is 19 plus....im 22....and i go to the momentum "kid" sessions, cuz i like the timing better, and the kids are great. and there are plenty of people ot go out with and chill and drink with!
yea im gonna go for 2 sessions next summer. i mean any camp ive heard is great...ive only gone to momentum so i can only comment on them...but its wicked chill, and everyone helps you...like we would walk to mcdonalds and some of the guys would be like ok now spin off the stairs you can do it, they are wicked encouraging on and off the hill, you'll land a new trick and not notice your coach from the previous day is watching untill they start cheering for ya! and you get tramp time and everyone is wicked awesome. they coachs all will help you with ne from 180s and sliding your first box to 9s and 270 off the s-rial. they get as excited as you are! i love it!!!
Nice...that sounds like a good option... i feel like I’m stuck at this ability level and i need to progress and I have the money so...i am just looking for the best place.
yeah high north has an adult camp, but i wouldnt do it, just do the normal camp, there were alot of like 30+ year olds that were kinda gay. 21 isnt that big of a difference so you will still have fun if you do the kid camp.
yeah. i mean, chilling with adults is cool, but i bet the atmosphere isnt as fun as the "kids" version.
i mean fuck, the "kids" are like mostly mid-teens?
shit, they arent exactly kids.
i dont hang out with highschoolers normally, but i dont exactly hang out with 30 somethings either...
im planning to go to Mommentum....with the kids....not because im a pedifile....just because i have some friends who are going, and im not gonna ride alone. Plus since the kids don't drink, you have some booze with the coaches
There's adults mixed in to various sections of camp. We didn't have the Adult camp last year, which was alright. You get to ride with the underage campers during the day and then come out with the staff for some dangerous nights...
I was at high north session 1 and 2 last year and I am 30. It was fine. There were all ages in both camps and the coaches/diggers are all old enough to drink with. Actually, even being 30, hanging out with the kids was fun. I wouldn't worry about an adult camp.
i work too, and go to school, and have an internship. its possible...you just gotta start saving now...take like some money e ery week out of your check...and you will be good! thats what i do!
Thats tight. Fuck I want to go up there too. 23 here. As of right now, I prob wont be able to afford it though lol...meh oh well, ill work on it. Guess Ill just have to hike some shit hehe
In my opinion if your 23 and you still want to be coached dont go to a camp. Just go to "The Open" Find a pro whos better than you and follow him/her around, then when you get close to him/her. Then when he cant see, you wip out your garbage bag, throw him/her in it, then drag him/her back to your lair. Then force him/her to teach you how to ski. I would suggest getting Dumont, hes probably the only one who would fit in a garbage bag. Good luck. Tell me how it goes.
i went to high north at the age of 25. it was cool as hell. i am a pretty solid skier and went as more of a chance to ski in july than as to "train" or progress-even though i did. if you have a decent ability to jump, spin , and hit moderate rails you'll have fun. but if you go because you want to learn how to do 3's you may be intimidated by some of the younger kids. some throw down some huge stuff. then again- when's the next time in your life you'll get to ski with all the top pros for a week straight? bust out the credit card and do it!
To answer above I’m planning on like two sessions…maybe 15 or so days. As for the post above I’m fairly good…I’m not going to learn 3’s …I mean I’m good on rails and decent in the air I just feel like I have hit a wall and at 25 I’m not getting any better on my own. The only reason I ask about the adult camps is because I don’t want to get there and have a 9pm curfew and if I want a few drinks through out the week to ease the bumps and maybe breaks, I want to be able to.
I am a solid skier was/am a NS beginner. I slid my first rail at HN 2 years ago, and went to learn grabs and spins. Sure some of the kids can throw stupid big tricks but watchin and learing from it is half the fun. I wouldn't say it is intimidating, just got to keep in mind that they may be able to land cork nines but I have had FAR more high quality poon tang then any of them...
even at the "kid" camps there is only a curfew if u are under 19...if your over....at least at momentum.....everyone will drink with you, coahces, diggers, other camper who are older, people who run the camp! its a great time!!! sometimes the coahces are guest bar tenders!!!
