Overview

A one-week EXPERT level freestyle camp, based out of the CAMP3 Clubhouse in Madarao Mountain Resort, Japan.

This camp is all about air time. Park jumps, natural hits, cat track drops and hand-made kickers. This is the time to land that first wildcat, take your tamedogs to park jumps, or try your first backside rodeo into powder. We'll ride the X-jam park, the drops in Arai and natural features in Myoko, along with local jump spots in the Madarao and Tangram back bowls.

Being an expert-level camp, it's important that you are comfortable spinning on medium-sized park jumps already and are motivated to attempt going upside down.

CAMP3’s expert-level coaching mantra separates the week into two distinct modes: Skills mode and send mode. Skills mode focuses on refining and adjusting your high-level riding technique. Send mode is where you switch off the internal noise, trust your abilities, and learn to ride instinctively using mental triggers that help unlock flow state riding in demanding terrain.

The camp includes five days of coaching, with one of CAMP3's strongest freestyle coaches, at five hours per day. This camp also includes seven nights of accommodation at the magical CAMP3 Clubhouse Madarao, five days of lift passes for all the mountains you ride, daily breakfast and three dinners in the clubhouse, 4WD transport to the local resorts each day and arrival/departure transfers to and from the local train station. The start and end dates specified above are the ARRIVAL and DEPARTURE dates (i.e. not on snow).

All camps need a minimum of three people per group to run, with a maximum six per group. Check our FAQs for more details on CAMP3.
