SNOW CAMP

Snow Camp turn young lives around with the power of snowsports, to break down barriers, broaden horizons and address the biggest social issues facing underserved young people today. Our Vision is for snowsports to be available to all and for young people to achieve their full potential through positive opportunities. Since 2003, we have been working across the UK in the most deprived areas.
