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.
