 family options
Whistler is
perfect for families because while their children
participate in the camp, parents can play golf, go biking on
the valley trails, lunch on a patio, shop in the village,
fly-fish or take a helicopter tour of our spectacular
scenery etc. For more information on all the summer Whistler
activities and hotel accommodations options, go to Tourism
Whistler’s website at:
www.tourismwhistler.com or call them at: 1-888-869-2777
We offer the ultimate baby-sitting service for families.
Of course all families are welcome to participate in the camp as well. We do run another camp that offers skiing (see Dave Murray Summer Ski and Snowboard Camp) if there is a mix in the family. Whistler offers any kind of summer sport or activity for any age.
Parents are also welcome to participate
in the adult ski and snowboard camps. As most children enjoy being part of the camp experience
where they fully integrate with the other campers, it
is most popular for the parents to stay in a separate
room or hotel.
If your child does not want to share a bedroom, parents
have the option to pay the upgrade as mentioned below.
Your child will still have two other “roommates”
in the suite but his room will be private.
Camp and Accommodation options available
to parents:
1) Parents Join The Camp: Parents can
participate in the camp as a full (with our hotel), or local (no
hotel) camper. Local adult campers can get accommodation on
their own in Whistler (see 3 below). We have an adult program
running at the same time so that you can have an adult schedule
while your child enjoys the regular camp. You will be able
to "bump into" your child throughout the day on the glacier and
at activities - just remember that young campers usually enjoy
the camp experience more when they fully integrate with the
other campers and get a feeling of being independent from the
parents.
2) Private Room Upgrade: If
both you and your child pay for the private room upgrade after
signing up for the full camp, then the entire suite is now
private for you and your family to use. This might be a good
option if you want to participate in the camp with your very
young (7-8yrs) old camper, and have concerns about them being
too young to stay on their own. If you have two children camping with us in the
full camp, and if
both children pay for the private room
upgrade (see pricing page) then the entire suite is
also now private
for you and other non-camper family to use.
3) Parents Get Own Accommodation
and Stay in Whistler: Parents can contact Tourism Whistler
www.tourismwhistler.com
to arrange for accommodations at a different hotel.
Parents can also book a room direct with the Tantalus Lodge
(same hotel as the campers) by calling 1- 888-633-4046
(www.tantaluslodge.com).
Whistler has endless things for parents to do while your child
is at camp but parents can also drop by the camp anytime, and we
can also arrange for the parents to get up and see the glacier
play area.
