Overview

Part of our new EXPERT-ONLY camp series, this speciality camp is focused on the topic of TRANSCEPTION!

By popular demand, the theme of transception, explores side-hits, rock drops and transition features, in a wide variety of terrain. The term “trans-ception” combines transition and perception, and was coined by a few of our CAMP3 coaches (credit to Chris Rogers for the original idea) when discussing the unique skill set we develop when taking freestyle to natural terrain. Coached by Stubbsy, this camp will be taking the transception concept from the playful Cardrona bowls of Soho and Willows, into the bigger natural terrain found in Treble Cone's Saddle and Motatapu Chutes areas.

Note that this is an expert level camp with no exceptions. Think Level Three instructor standard riding! You must have ridden with CAMP3 previously and be listed as an expert rider, or be approved by a CAMP3 coach.

Alternatively, a 5-day anytime pass is available to purchase direct from the mountain. All lift passes must be pre-arranged with at least three days notice. Please specify if you require this when booking.

Transport in CAMP3 bus: The CAMP3 bus (aka. "Sendee Wendy") runs 5 days per week, making it easier for out-of-town members to get up the hill each day. It is a 10-seater 4WD van that will run for all camp days plus one additional day, with pick up spots available around Wanaka. When booking your camp, please select if you would like "daily transport in the CAMP3 bus". This transport offering is only available week-by-week and is not possible to book day-by-day.
