Please be aware our camp is NOT a 24 hour fully chaperoned, "hold their hand" camp.
The youngest age we accept is 12. We allow the kids into the village of Whistler (approx
4 square blocks) on their own or with their new buddies. This is never a problem due
to the fact that Whistler is such a beautiful, safe and compact resort.
This is the Camp of Champions, not the Camp of Party Animals. All summer we have
the Camp Director, Ken Achenbach, living in the hotel supervising the campers, along
with other members of staff. Our close, but unimposing supervision lets everyone have
a great time and stay out of trouble. We treat the kids with the respect they want,
and 99 times out of 100 we get it back.
Rules & Regulations
We have very simple rules and regulations here at the Camp of Champions.
- No drugs. No alcohol. No smoking. Don't be a dick.
- Any camper caught with drugs or alcohol will be sent home immediately, with no refunds whatsoever. The camper will be responsible for all costs incurred by being sent home.The same goes for people who insist on being a dick to other campers and staff. We are all here to have fun and anyone who ruins the fun is not welcome and will be sent home immediately, with no refunds whatsoever.
- Abide by curfew, if you're under 19 years old (in dorm for 10pm, lights out at
11pm).
- Only two campers per room/four campers per suite at any given time.
- No rude language or behavior to other campers, our staff, Whistler Blackcomb staff, dorm staff or dorm guests.
- Do not store any backpacks, boards or skis on the mountain, bring all your equipment
back to the dorm everyday, it could be stolen up there.
- No litter anywhere.
- No stickers anywhere in the hotel (the parents credit cards would be charged by
the dorm for damage to the room). The charges will be split between everyone in the room regardless of who applied the stickers or did the damage.
Zero tolerance is how we operate. This creates a healthy, safe and enjoyable environment
for everyone. There is also a random room search policy at the Dorm. It is detailed
in the release form which the parents and camper will sign before they arrive at camp.
Below is a copy:
I hereby allow the Dorm staff and Camp of Champions staff to search
the room occupied by my son /daughter (including personal belongings) at random for
alcohol or drugs. This random search policy is in place for all campers at all times
to ensure your child's health and safety while at the Camp of Champions. We have a zero
tolerance policy for alcohol and drugs.
By signing below, the parent and camper agree to the random search terms, any camper
caught with alcohol or drugs will be sent home immediately, with no refunds whatsoever.
What if I'm 19 yrs or older?
This is the Camp of Champions, not the Camp of Party Animals, so the same rules and
regulations of no drugs, alcohol or tobacco in the Dorm apply.
Being 19 yrs or older, you are classed as "an adult" in Canada and we treat you as
such. If you are 19 yrs or older the curfew does not apply and you are legally
allowed to drink in Canada.
However, if you decide to go out at night we ask that you do not return
to the dorm in a noticeable or disruptive fashion. This means you cannot let any of
the under age campers see you drunk or with alcohol at anytime. If you have been drinking
at a bar in town you must return directly to your room upon returning to the Dorm.
We do not want any under age campers exposed to bad influences and we appreciate
your help in keeping alcohol out of their sight.
There are no drugs allowed at any time, anywhere no matter what your age.
It is illegal and the police will be involved if you are caught with illegal substances.
If you cannot follow these simple guidelines then you will be asked to leave the
camp immediately with no refund or assistance in getting back home. If you drink or
do drugs you have decided to be an adult and adults can get home on their own.
