The CAMP3 Lowdown

Put simply, CAMP3 is a snowboard club.

We're a New Zealand registered non-profit community, running rider development camps for adults from all over the world who get stoked on snowboarding. We run a wide variety of camps, from park and pipe camps at Cardrona and freeride camps at Treble Cone, through to backcountry powder camps in Japan, as well as instructor training and SBINZ certifications in China.

All our camps have a specified ability level that they cater towards, from novice through to Expert.

The Membership Crew

Everyone is a passionate snowboarder.

CAMP3 members are typically seasoned snowboarders, many with instructor qualifications themselves. Members must be over 18 (most members are in the 25-45 range), have done at least 10 days on a snowboard and must be stoked on progressing their riding. You DO NOT need to be a certified instructor to join our camps. All snowboarders are welcome!

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 $55 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.

If you're a member of CAMP3 already, then you're in the right place. Login here!

If you're not a member already, use the "sign me up" button below (there's no cost until you actually join a camp).

I've done several backcountry freeride camps with camp3 in japan - had a great vibe even in challenging snow conditions at times, the coaches know the terrain and mountains really well and are able to scout out secret pow stashes. I also did my avy cert with them and gained extremely important backcountry knowledge. I would highly recommend the freeride and avy cert camps for advanced riders looking to progress further and responsibly ride backcountry terrain.

Just wrapped up the 2-week Park & Pipe Spring Camp and honestly couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. I progressed more than I thought possible, but also came away with so many tools and things to keep working on moving forward. The coaching was exceptional, but the real highlight I found was being part of the community of like-minded people and a vibe that made every day a banger. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to push their riding and be part of something special, and I can’t wait to sign up for another one

I can't express how grateful I am for Camp 3. These four weeks of training were the perfect times of the NZ season. I learned so much, got tons of practice, and really nailed down the direction of my future snowboarding. Thanks again, Keith. "Keith is my copilot" on my snowboarding journey.
