2. Friends that last a lifetime!

Whether your child comes to camp by themselves or with a pal – we guarantee they’ll connect with amazing campers & staff from around the country who they’ll consider some of their best friends.

4. Its summer camp!

Across America there are 10 million campers a year!  Going to summer camp is a long-standing American tradition.  We specialize in snowboarding, but we also squeeze in as many traditional camp themes as possible…. things like camp fires, s’mores, swimming, and so many other little things you just can’t capture in words. Allow your child access to healthy developmental risks in a safe and nurturing environment.

5. Increased Self Confidence!

Sound cheesy? Well it’s true! Experiencing a new environment, interacting with new people and putting oneself out there makes one more dynamic and ready for what life has in store!

6. Setting and accomplishing goals!

The beauty of our sport is that improving one’s skills is a series of setting and obtaining small goals to get to where they want to be. This translates to all aspects of life!

7. Gain Independence!

From the airplane journey to Oregon, to the 9-days spent out of the nest, your child’s time at HCSC is a great opportunity to foster a sense of independence in a safe supportive environment.

8. It’s a great reward!

Not that they need to be bribed, but countless campers have earned their session at camp by meeting a set of criteria set up by their parents: From chores to report cards, a trip to HCSC is a mega-motivation.

9. They’re being active!

Being outdoors in the Mt. Hood National Forest skateboarding, mt. biking, breathing fresh air, playing, living, and loving life feels good from the soles of their feet to the feet of their soul.

It’s their passion!

People need passions – they frame out our lives and get us excited. To many campers, snowboarding is more than just a recreation. At HCSC we excel in helping this passion begin, grow and abound!

10. 100+ role models!

From the staff we employ to our 2011 Signature Session™ pro line up, campers get to spend 9 days with some of the smartest, friendliest, diverse and genuine people on Earth!

11. This list could have easily been 1,000 reasons.

Everyone knows that High Cascade is the number one snowboard camp in the world. Our 2 private parks built by Planet Snow Design, private rope tow and legendary coaching program are second to none. Fantastic snowboarding, however, is just the tip of the camp experience iceberg!
