Summer school was never this much fun! Combine a credit
course with some of the world's greatest outdoor activities.
Choose to mountain bike or glacier ski
- from snowboarding
to rock climbing, the possibilities are endless! |
DAILY SCHEDULE
Classes will be held at Whistler High School, a new and beautiful
building set amidst towering Evergreens and close to the hotel.
Unlike our other programs, classes in Whistler will take place
in the afternoon. This ensures students can take full advantage
of Whistler Mountain and its activities during the prime morning
hours when conditions are at their best.
CHOOSE
FROM TWO OPTIONAL ACTIVITY MODULES
So as to maximize
our experience of Whistler, Blyth has teamed up with The Dave
Murray Summer Camp (DM), the longest-running ski and snowboard
camp in North America. DM boasts a private terrain park and
half pipe on the Blackcomb
Glacier. It is the only camp in the area offering CASI and
CSIA Instructor certification courses, as well as a variety
of programs catering to all levels. Their facility has a wide
variety of jumps, tables, rails, and cool features.
Want to stay off the snow? Join Blyth and Blackcomb on the
Whistler Bike Park and the Whistler Valley Trails. The Bike
Park features 43 runs and over 200km of lift-serviced descending
trails, and we offer expert instruction in well-supervised
groups. In July, Whistler hosts Crankworx, the Olympics of Mountain
Biking, which we will be there to experience.
