As Sports Minister I support Snow-Camp because it gives disadvantaged young people the chance to take part in a sport they otherwise wouldnt be able to afford. Skiing and snowboarding are great fun and great for fitness, but what makes Snow-Camp such a good project is that it also uses snowsports to teach young people life-skills. I hope Snow-Camp goes from strength to strength and the ski and snowboard industry continue to support the project.
Gerry Sutcliffe, Sports Minister

"Having spent a life in the mountains amongst skiers and snowboarders, I can testify to the positive effect that being in the mountains can have on your character. I'm sure all the young people who participate in the Snow-Camp programme will enjoy it and benefit greatly from it"
Martin Bell (British Olympic Skier)

"Snow-Camp is an amazing concept that is going to open doors to many young people who would otherwise never have the chance to experience snow sports. There is so much talent and energy out there, and my hope would be to see more young people having the opportunity to channel their talents into freeride, skier cross and freestyle skiing."
Warren Smith - Leading British Freeskier
