I really want to go to a summer camp but i dan't know what one to chose.
momentum or camp of champs?
any suggestions
They are pretty much the same.
Momentum pros: smaller lift lines, skier only
Momentum cons:not as much terrain
COC pros: more terrain
COC cons: longer lift lines after lunch, maybe the missing atmosphere of skiers only.
Momentum

VALUE FOR MONEY: Our camp price includes everything you need from pick up to drop off at airport. You do not need to bring extra money for activities, evening meals or other things.
NINE DAYS: The camp session consists of 9 days and 8 nights including 2 travel days, 6 days on snow and 1 day off in the middle to rest and enjoy some of Whistler’s other activities.
BEST COACHING: Our crew is made up of the most talented skiers in the world. Their names and results speak for themselves. You get to ski with a different coach each day to benefit from all of their knowledge and coaching styles. The coaches work in small groups of 4 - 7 skiers of a similar ability so you learn at the right pace.
FASTEST TURNAROUND: Our location on the glacier dominates the Showcase T-bar. The T-bar runs through the middle of the camp and has the smallest lift lines on the glacier ensuring the fastest turnaround times and most runs per day of any camp.
SKIING-ONLY CAMP: The Momentum terrain park is for skiers only and offers 5 lanes of space, including a full mogul course. With so much terrain our park can cater to all levels of skiers and our volume of skiers per lane is lower than most camps, therefore less crowded and safer.
SAFE PROGRESSION: Our terrain park has a variety of jumps and rails from small to large and we utilize the Water Ramps and 3 trampolines with certified instructors to teach you how to learn to jump safely.
DELUXE ACCOMMODATION: Based at the Blackcomb Lodge and Spa in the center of Whistler Village, the hotel includes a pool and hot tub, kitchenettes in all rooms and maid service.
All MEALS PROVIDED: Breakfast, juice-break, lunch and dinners at a different local restaurant each night, allowing you to experience more of Whistler.
DAILY VIDEO REVIEW: Runs are videoed every day and you meet up with your coach in the evening for a personal video review and a chance to learn more.
PERSONAL DVD: Every camper will receive a personal DVD record of your week’s skiing along with the camp movie and slideshow.
Camp of Champions
The largest private park in the world. The COC park is never shared with the public or any other camps. Our park is so big it's almost double the size of any camp in Whistler or Mt. Hood. Designed for everyone to get the kind of terrain they need to progress, beginners in the park to up and coming pro riders.
All coaching is "One-on-One" in small groups with a ratio of 1 coach to every 4 to 8 campers. The size of your group depends on your ability. Coaching is all day - every day from 8am to 3pm.
All lift tickets for duration of stay.
Our deluxe option includes accommodations in "The Dorm". It's the perfect accommodation in Whistler with no crusty guests, better security and cooler staff than any hotel. The Dorm also features 5 games rooms with multiple big flatscreens, Xboxes with the latest games, comfy couches, and kitchens. We also drop in the "6-10" our convenience store that we joke is almost as good as 7-11, the Demo Room with all the coolest custom COC Gear and last, but not least, each games room has an Apple computer so you can keep in touch with all your friends that didn't make it to camp.
All you can eat hot breakfast at 21 Steps.
On mountain lunch made fresh every morning and brought up to the glacier for you, served smorgasbord style so everything is fresh.
Free use of demo equipment supplied by our sponsors.
Transfers to and from Vancouver Airport (within scheduled times).
Get the best coaching of any camp in the legendary Whistler Bike Park. Camp of Champions has some of the hottest up and coming pros as well as local rippers you might not have heard of… yet, as your coaches. You’ll ride so much better in your time with us it will boggle your mind. It's like getting an extra summer of riding in just one week.
You come to camp to ride and ride hard. If you add up the hours you actually are riding and being coached compared to other camps, you actually get an extra day worth of riding and coaching per week. Other camps get 6 hours total daily, divided between the Bike Park and the Air Dome, COC does 6 hours a day in the park plus 3 private 2 hour Air Dome sessions a week. That adds up to 6 extra hours of riding a week, basically a day more riding per week than other camps. Add in our 1:3 coaching ratio compared to 1:6 for other camps you don't just get more riding, you get more coaching too. If you want to ride more and learn more, come to COC. It will be the best week of your life.
All coaching is "One-on-One" in small groups with a ratio of 1 coach to every 3 campers. The best the other camps offer is 1 coach for every 6 riders. Coaching is all day, every day from 10AM to 5:00PM and during our Private Airdome Coaching Sessions from 6 PM to 8 PM three times a week. After riding with you all day, our coaches hit the after riding activities with you and chill at The Dorm as well. That is how you make friends for life and learn the most.
The Airdome is a 10,000 square foot playground filled with a giant foam pit for learning tricks safely and wooden ramps for learning transition riding and taking the tricks you learn in the foam pit to the next closest thing to the park, wood ramps. It’s awesome. We have private sessions three times a week from 6-8PM. You will learn so much it will amaze you.
Lift tickets for the Whistler Bike Park for duration of stay.
Free use of brand new top of the line bikes supplied by our sponsors, Norco, Transition and Banshee and safety equipment supplied by TSG. These are not rental bikes like other camps use, they are private demo bikes for COC campers that get a complete tune every night.
The Whistler Bike Park eats bikes, it's why we have the Ride Along Mechanic®. It's why this year we have added the Bike Damage Insurance feature. It costs $120CDN per 8 day session and covers your bike for any damage caused while riding the Bike Park. It doesn't cover theft. With the price of parts, this one is a no brainer. Nothing better than not having to worry about how much a part is after you crash and burn in the park.
Save $300 CDN per 8 day session if you bring your own DH bike (Conditions apply). Beware, the Whistler Bike Park eats bikes that aren’t worthy and you will spend more fixing your bike than you saved.
Part of learning to ride better is not missing runs due to a mechanical. Our Ride Along Mechanic® is in the park with the campers, changing tubes, fixing mechanicals etc. If he can't fix it on the spot, he swaps bikes with you and you keep riding while he takes your bike and fixes it. EPIC! RIde More Learn More® You didn't come to Whistler to walk a broken bike down the mountain, you came to ride.
Factory Pro Riders get a custom tuned bike and so do COC campers. Your bike is tuned to your weight and the suspension, sag and fork rebound are dialed in for you. A tuned bike means faster learning. After a day of nicks, bumps and hard riding, our Ride Along Mechanic® goes over every bike with a fine toothed comb, from front to back, top to bottom bracket, tuning up your bike making sure that when you drop in for that first run the next day, your bike is perfect.
Every day Pro Photographer Mike Crane rides with all the campers shooting photos in different parts of the park. Every night the photos are posted on the COC website and on PinkBike.com for downloading. Campers go home with CD filled with every picture shot during their week at camp. If riding the park with our coaches doesn’t make you feel like a rock star, being part of your own pro photo shoot with lights, flashes, video cameras and still cameras will.
The Whistler Bike Park eats tires. If you flat at camp our Ride Along Mechanic® is there to fix the flat/hook you up with a new tube.
All You Can Eat Hot Breakfast. We changed where we eat breakfast after campers said they wanted to eat with their friends in snowboard/ski camp, at 21 Steps. Done. All you can eat hot breakfast at 21 Steps
Lunch at The GLC, right at the base of the Bike Park so we can watch people eat it in the Boneyard while we eat lunch. Our lunch is off the hook!
Transfers to and from Vancouver Airport (within scheduled times)
All our after riding activities are FREE.
Our deluxe option includes accommodations in "The Dorm". It's the perfect accommodation in Whistler with no crusty guests, better security and cooler staff than any hotel. The Dorm also features 5 games rooms with multiple big flatscreens, Xboxes with the latest games, comfy couches, and kitchens. We also drop in the "6-10" our convenience store that we joke is almost as good as 7-11, the Demo Room with all the coolest custom COC Gear and last, but not least, each games room has an Apple computer so you can keep in touch with all your friends that didn't make it to camp.
Every night Dice K Maru and the camp photographers upload every shot from the day to the COC site as well as drop shots onto TWSnow.com and newschoolers.com and anywhere else cool. There are photos of the epic sessions by pros and campers going off. They also shoot everything that catches their eye during the day at camp.
We throw a huge party every week at The Compound. With a DJ providing the sound through our 2600 watt system and all you can eat pizza if you are a 5 day camper and all you can eat BBQ if you are an 8, 15, 22 or 29 day camper. The party starts out mellow and then soon turns goes off. Our sponsors hook us up so everyone goes home with free stuff. We give away so much stuff you'll feel like you're sponsored.
