So im wanting to go to hood or COC this year and was wondering what are the average ages of kids there? Im 17 and don't know if all the kids there are like 10 or whatever which would obviously be shitty. Also how do all the people who don't have rich or extremely generous parents pay for it. Im a broke boi.

As to the "how to pay for it?" theres a little thing I like to call a "job." They can suck the big one but you gotta do it if you want to get paid! I work shit jobs just so I can ski all the time

I'm 16 going to mhssc session 5 its a lot cheaper then other camps and I can afford it because I have had a job during the school year and my parents are paying for some of it. Theirs no age that is to old to ski at a camp and have a blast.

Yeah if you're working just think about how the money you make will benefit you. Working is worth it if it allows you to ski more!

If you're worried about cost, check out MHSSC. Cheapest option for your summer shred. We take people 10 and up, but most campers are around 14-18. Our upper lodge is used solely for that age group.
I work there so if you have any questions just check out the links in my signature or PM me.

Rob a bank to fund a backyard summer setup/profit.

Also I think the cut off for COC is 17 and 2/5ths. So even though you're 17 you might be too old
