Ken Achenbach, The Camp of Champions Camp DIrector and Owner moved here in 1988 when he came out to be the talent for a french ski movie. Before he even got to the top of Seventh Heaven chair he knew he had to move to Whistler. That's how great the riding and town of Whistler are. Once you come all you can think about is how to get back to Whistler.It's that great. The amount of campers that we've meet delivering pizza's or washing dishes having moved to Whistler the day they got out of school, is astounding. Whistler really is that great. If you don't believe us, you might have seen a big event in Whistler in February. The Olympics. Even they wanted to be in Whistler. You should too.
The Camp of Champions isn’t your normal summer camp stuck in the middle of nowhere. The camp is based in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada, the resort town that Transworld SNOWboarding, Decline, Freeskier, Powder Magazine consistently rank as the best place to ride. Featuring tons restaurants/cafes, snow/skate/bike/ski shops, an 8 screen movie theater, 3 lakes for swimming and three skate parks within driving or walking distance, off the snow is as fun as on the snow.
Whistler is located an hour and a half drive from Vancouver, on Highway 99, one of the most beautiful stretches of coastal mountain highway in the world. It’s such a magical place that, for over 70 years, people have left everything behind and moved up here to live out their dreams. It has all the outdoor activities you could ever want to pack into a vacation. The best way to convince your parents they should send you to camp is to get them stoked on how much fun they can have on their vacation here in Whistler at the same time you are at camp.
