Testimonials

Here's what the campers are saying....

"Thanks for a great week riding in Whistler. The coaching you provided together with the video analysis was just right. Despite the short time I was with you, I feel I was taken out of my comfort zone that I'd been riding in for far too long. It ultimately got me doing the backside 360 I'd thought was unachievable at the beginning of the week as well as nailing numerous other tricks and finding the places on the mountain that I'd normally not know about. Riding with the three amigo's and Hiro in such a small group was more than entertaining and their ability meant that I was pushed all the way from start to finish of the camp. Fingers crossed you'll see me back in the future."

"Hello Turner! I'm back to work again, back to life, back to reality (remember the song?) I really hate to return from holidays, even more when I'm coming back from a place like Whistler and after meeting people like you, Vince, Steve and all the friends I've made at Core Camps. The whole week I've spent at the camp has been amazing since the beginning; from the fresh powder and cliffs of the first days to the flat tricks, the spins and 'old school' grabs at the park and, of course, don't forget the beers and the nachos. As I told you days ago, I've never jumped so much in my 17 years as a snowboarder (I wish I have started earlier) and I’ve never seen so much snow in my entire life, AWESOME!!. And now you have given me the keys to improve my jumping and tricks technique so I hope to see you next year and show you my new 'snowboarding style' and step to the next level. I'm also cleaning the dust of my old Disco records to win more points for the weekly music contest.Thanks again for everything!!!!!!!!! "

"This is just a short note to thank you and your team so much for teaching Joe.He had a brilliant week and learned so much. My husband and I were very impressed by your organization and its professional approach. We will not hesitate to recommend you to others. "

"Hi Turner. I had an amazing two weeks and I am already looking forward to the next time I'll get onto my snowboard... Looking forward to seeing the videos! "

"Hey Turner- I just got home a couple hours ago and I wanted to thank you for such an incredible experience! I had such a great time and I learned so much. I can't believe how much I miss it already and I have only been home for a little bit!!! There were so many great people and everyone was so kind. I never imagined how much I could learn in only a week. I now have so much more confidence on the mountain thanks to you, Vince, and the other students. This is not goodbye...it's see you later because Kristin and I will be back this season! Now that we've had this great of an experience, you will not be able to keep us away! Thanks so much. "

I just wanted to thank you for a great two weeks. Overall I had an awesome experience and I'm missing it out there already. Riding with you guys definitely built up my confidence and I now have tons of stuff to work on this season. I've also signed up for a level one course in a few weeks. I hope you have a great season and hopefully I'll be able to get back out there sooner than later. Thanks again."

"Dear Turner, Hi! How are you? I miss you, Core Camp and Whistler. That one week was awesome for me. I’d like to thank you for everything. See you again in Whistler."

"Thank you very much for all the time we spent on the mountains. I had a great time snowboarding with the other riders from different countries. I learned a lot of new stuff - tricks, spins, riding powder, backflips and CASI level 1. I'm coming back! "

"I enjoyed core camps so much. It was just an awesome time! It was perfect, and help from the coaches made me quite simply to pass the CASI test. Fresh powder and some of the sickest tree lines I've ever done! Thanks for the great time!"

"The guidance I received at Core Camps has helped me progress to a level I wouldn't have thought possible. They were great in instilling me with the confidence to try out all sorts of jumps, drops, new terrain and tricks I never thought to try. But what I will remember the most was how laid back the experience was. I felt it was more like a bunch of buddies getting together for a day's riding and this is what I valued the most. Not the typical school I came to expect. Thanks for the incredible time - bring on the next season!"

"I joined for 4 and a half months. That was super fun. All were very good coaches. They also helped me to pass my CASI Level 1 very easily. I had a lot of new snowboarding experiences: build jumps, jump big cliff, ride the terrain parks etc. The snow in Whistler is awesome. That was a very good time."

"I was in Core Snowboard Camps for 2 months. I was nervous because my English was basic, but the coaches spoke a little Japanese so I felt comfortable every day. The coaches know Whistler and Blackcomb very well. We rode secret and cool snowboarding spots. For example: with a small hike, we rode untracked an powder bowl. Some days we made backcountry jumps. We did tree runs, small cliff and of course terrain parks and half-pipes. I could choose from many levels of jumps and rails in the park, so it was easy to progress. In the evenings I liked going to the sports gym for strength training, swimming and relaxing in a big hot tub. Sometimes at night we went to a pub. I could practice speaking English with everyone. It was super fun. I want to join again next season. Thank you."

"The powder was sweet and I'm more aggressive to try stuff in the park. Now I can do 360's! Thanks for the week of fun!"

"This whole snowboarding gig is very new to me, but what I do know about the sport I owe to the coaches. They have the instinctive ability that pushed me to my individual limits. Simply put, Core Snowboard Camp rocks. I’ll never forget it. I highly recommend this camp to anyone and everyone, whatever your level."
