The CAMP3 Lowdown

By snowboarders, for snowboarders!

Put simply, CAMP3 is a snowboard club. The long version is we're a New Zealand registered non-profit society, running rider development camps for adults from all over the world who get stoked on snowboarding. We run various levels of camp, from park and pipe camps at Cardrona and freeride camps at Treble Cone, through to backcountry powder camps in Japan and France. All camps have a specified ability level that they cater towards, from novice through to Jedi.

CAMP3 Snowboarding also facilitate high-end instructor training, with Level Three specific programmes for instructors from any English-speaking system.

The Membership Crew

Everyone is a passionate snowboarder.

CAMP3 members are seasoned snowboarders, many with instructor qualifications themselves. All members must be over 18 (most members are in the 20-40 range), have had at least 30 days on a snowboard and must be stoked on progressing their riding.

Every snowboarder who joins our camps MUST join as a member of the club first. You can sign up below for FREE and we include the $45 annual membership fee when you register for your first camp (more on that here).

The Coaches

All CAMP3s are run by super-experienced, highly-certified coaches, frothing to help you improve and get the most out of your all-mountain shred time, from park and pipe to freeriding and carving.

To become a CAMP3 Coach you must be a minimum of SBINZ Level Three with proven coaching experience, however most of our coaches are certified at the Trainer level. All CAMP3 coaches are carefully selected with not only superior qualifications and experience, but a super-positive approach and a specific set of personal skills. Read about our coaches here.
