What campers are saying about their experiences
Touted as the best winter of my life, and indeed, REALIZED as the best winter I've ever had! If you're thinking about Core Camp, stop thinking and just do it, I promise you won't regret it. From deep stormy pow days to bluebird beauties, I spent 12 weeks here and had the experience of a lifetime, riding terrain I never thought I would; chutes, steeps, trees, drops and everything in between. Now, I wouldn't wanna ride anything else 🤣 and it's all thanks to Turner, Jordan, Oli, and the rest of the wonderful campers I met and rode with along...

Turner has created such a wholesome experience with Core Camps and I couldn’t have asked for more from my first snowboarding and solo trip! Everything was meticulously planned out and ran so smoothly, from arriving at the airport, picking up rental gear, checking into lessons and just generally feeling relaxed and comfortable during downtime. Turner was on hand to help at all times and the perfect host! My snowboarding progression over the week was immense and I really hope to return next year! Thank you Turner and Core Camps!!
My son was able to attend the camp for the first time this year and went solo. Preparing him was easy as Core Camp communicated everything up front. Turner took time to talk with me to clarify the process as my son had not traveled abroad solo before. Once there my son had a great time! He set goals and reached his biggest goal of a 360 off a jump.
This is an amazing camp! Place is awesome in a great location and everything is so well organized and run so perfectly! Like a Swiss watch! Turner is awesome, very supportive, very communicative and prompt answering immediately to any question/email! It is a great opportunity and I am thankful I had the opportunity to participate and learning so much! Definitely I am going back next year and I absolutely recommend the camp to anyone who would like to improve ones skills into a fantastic environment with amazing and supportive instructors!
Embarking on my skiing journey at Core Camps in Whistler was a fun experience with excitement, learning, and unforgettable memories. Turner truly delivered on his promise; I went from an absolute beginner to confidently navigating the slopes in just one week. By the end of the camp, I was surprised by my improvement, successfully tackling green runs that had seemed daunting at the outset. The Core Camps house was not only beautiful and comfortable but also fostered a strong sense of community among the campers. I left the camp with a new set of skiing skills, new friends and memories...

Wow! What an amazing experience I had with Core Camps! Turner was extremely helpful, accommodating and always available if I needed anything. This camp is so wonderful and a great way to work on your skills as a snowboarder/skier, especially when in a new country. Not only did I improve my snowboarding, I also met some of the most wonderful people. I was having a difficult time finding an instructor for my level and was placed in groups that were either too advanced or too easy and didn’t know what to do. Once I expressed this to Turner and Jordan,...

I had a wonderful, spectacular and memorable week at Core Camps! Jordan was a great instructor who pushed me out of my comfort zone, showed us some great spots and overall is a fun person to be around. I learned so much and cannot wait to be back next year! It was amazing waking up and going snowboarding for a whole week. Also big thanks to Turner who had a great itinerary for the week, was so helpful, and made sure everything was running smoothly. It was such a great experience!
Had two fantastic weeks with Core Camps! Turner is such a kind camp owner who would go the extra mile to make sure all campers are well taken care of. Jordan the coach is a stylish rider who pushes us to challenge our limits, while always being positive and encouraging. The gang in the house was an awesome bunch who share the same passion towards snowboarding/skiing. Honestly can’t wait to be back!
My time at Core Camps in Whistler was a total blast! The instruction was awesome, the mountain is incredible, and I seriously leveled up my skiing skills. It was the perfect mix of learning and fun, and I made some great friends from the house. Big shoutout to Turner – who was super helpful and incredibly organized. He made sure everything ran smoothly and even helped coordinate transport when I extended my stay in Whistler. Overall cannot recommend Core Camps enough.
My husband and I stayed at Core Camps for two weeks of skiing and had a fantastic experience. Our skiing lessons were excellent and we made significant improvements over the two weeks. The house was great, with easy and quick access to Whistler village, and we loved meeting and hanging out with the other attendees. Turner does an incredible job creating a seamless experience and bringing the group together, and went out of his way to make our stay memorable, including organising a Christmas dinner and secret santa gift exchange which was a highlight of our stay. We had a...

My 15 year old son attended a Core Camps session during Spring Break 2023 and loved it! His snowboarding skills/technique improved significantly and he was very excited about the new tricks he learned. He loved the independence of staying in the Core Camps house with other teens. The house is very clean and safe and there are adults there too. Everyone was friendly and responsible. The camp is extremely well-organized. Turner, the camp owner, has thought through every detail. He provided excellent communication on logistics and he responded quickly to my questions. I highly recommend Core Camps!
If you have ever for a moment considered getting some lessons to improve your riding or wanted to meet some other people just as in to snowboarding as you, I’d highly recommend signing up to core camps. My friend and I booked pretty late so we weren’t able to go for the premium option, however, that didn’t mean we didn’t still have the best time ever. We got some of the coolest instructors, got to explore both mountains and learn everything we wanted to in 1 week. We also got extremely lucky that it was pretty much only ever 2...

Turner and the team at Core Camps were simply amazing. Everything from initial inquiry, to booking, to pre trip preparation, to the trip itself, was extremely well organized. Turner was very communicative and helpful in getting me ready for camp. During my stay, he was very involved in the day to day activities and was super fun to hang out with. The atmosphere and culture he has created in the house is one that is warm and welcoming - these are lifelong friends that I have made. I also watched my skill improve drastically - going from Level 3 skier...

Step out of your comfort zone and sign up for a week or two or three! Then look forward to coming back as soon as possible. It takes a lot to say hey, I am heading to Whistler by myself, to take snowboarding (or skiing) lessons, live with a group of people I do not know, have a roommate or two! Just do it! You will be very proud of yourself and your skiing or boarding will improve like never before! It’s your turn to learn! Turner knows how to look after you whether you are 15 or 59! The...

10/10 two weeks at Core Camps! My skiing drastically improve in two weeks and the accommodation was beautiful, clean and perfectly located. It was so fun to be around like minded people who enjoyed the skiing/snowboarding lifestyle and brought a fun and social vibe to the experience. Turner was attentive, quick to respond to any questions or concerns, and genuinely cared about everyone having a positive experience. Highly recommend!!🤘⛷️🏂
Stayed for a week at the Core Camp log house, for the beginner camp. I went into it never having done any snow sports, and came out being able to do turns. Turner and Jordan were great hosts, and the mix of campers from all over the world, with different levels of skill, was an integral part of the experience. It was the coldest week on the mountain for decades and the beginner hills were still super packed. Fortunately the Whistler coaches were great, especially Steveo and Rowan. Looking forward to revisiting every year.
I took 2 weeks of classes this past winter, and couldn't recommend them more! Haven taking classes at both this and the other Whistler camp, I felt I received more personalized coaching and attention from Core Camps coaches and staff. This, I think, is mostly due to having 1 coach throughout who really got to know me and understand my level and goals vs 5 coaches over the course of a week. Jordan was an incredible coach. I had wanted to learn rails for years but never had the courage to go beyond wide boxes. But within a few days...

I joined the Core Camps gang for 4 weeks in total last season and cannot recommend their awesomeness enough. Turner and the coaches are great tutors, have incredible knowledge of the mountains, can tailor your experience to the snow conditions that you're dealt, are passionate about snowboarding and helping people improve and are all round awesome people and really fun to hang out with. I'll be joining them again as soon as I can!
I would recommend Core Camps to anyone who loves snowboarding and looking to build their skills no matter what level you are! I progressed so much in the 2 weeks I was there than I ever had in the 5 years of riding I had under my belt. Everyone on the camp cheers you on & pushes your limits giving you the confidence to try things you would never attempt when riding on your own. On top of that I got to meet an amazing group of like-minded snowboarders! Turner is an absolutely wonderful host - and the personal touches...

I booked a 5 week camp with Core Camps through February and had an unbelievable and unforgettable experience. The coaching staff were amazing. I was able to spend time with 3 different snowboard coaches Jordan, Ollie, and Josh, and not only did they all help me progress more than I ever thought I would, but were top blokes. Every day was a guaranteed laugh. It was a perfect balance between the technical, and pure enjoyment. Turner does an amazing job at facilitating this and was so involved through the camp. He personally helped me get my snowboard instructing certificate and...
