How is coaching at Camp of Champions?

So, me and my bro are thinking of going to Camp of Champions next summer, and we were wondering if the coaching is any good. WE wanted to know because if we choose the 'park access only' camp, we dont get coaching unless we put the add-on n it. but if we go to the day camp, then coaching is included. Is the coaching worth it?

Note: if we go with the park access only we're gonna add compound access to it.

Thanks.

(and dont tell me all about how windells is better. i know it is. but i have a place at whis and its only a four hour drive away.)

(and also, sorry if i posted this in the completely wrong section, im new to NS.com)

I think the coaches can still help you out with tricks even if they arent your coach. I remember when I went a while ago I had the coaching package and my coach was skiing with the rest of the group and I wanted to try backflips so another coach helped me out.

good, they all help you, just ski around the park, and go to features that the coaches are already at helping kids, listen to what they are saying then try it.

it really depends on you and how much you put in. theyre not gonna force you to do anything, but theyre there to help you. think of it more like skiing with someone whos really good and gives you pointers a lot. only you pay a shitload of money for it

It really comes down to each coach....some are amazing (Turpin is so legendary because of how much he helped kids at High North and Whistler) while others aren't very active and are more there for presence.

I have no idea what coaching at COC costs, but I do know it can really help.....

I can't tell you what it is yet, but we have an amazing new feature in The Compound that will blow your mind. We will be announcing it in the next week or so.

i'd say go for the riding only and then ask coaches questions when you need help. most people will gladly give you a bit of advice and it'll save you alot of money...

Just my guess, but if they're building something top secret in their compound... what else are they gonna do...

Really not true at all. Sure, the guest pros didn't teach, but I know Sean Pettit helped me learn flat 3s, Austin something helped with rodeos, and Mack Jones and Finn Anderson were both always around with a tip.

Unlike school, no one is standing around to make sure you learn stuff. You get back what you put into it. Have a list of stuff you want to learn ready, stick with the coaches, keep asking for advice, and they will help you learn until your legs give out. I've had half day private sessions with some of the coaches when the rest of my group got tired or decided to ride on their own after lunch.
