Overview

This one-week long speciality camp is focused on the topic of TRANSCEPTION and is for experienced CAMP3 members only.

By popular demand, the theme of transception, explores side-hits, pillow 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 to the Madarao and Nozawa gullies, the halfpipe in X-Jam, plus further afield locations.

This camp will have 5 days of riding over a 6 day window, with a flexible day off somewhere during the week. It includes a welcome dinner, 2 additional dinner nights during your stay at the clubhouse, plus transfers to and from the local train station. The start and end dates specified above are the arrival and departure days (i.e. not on snow).
