NZ Spring Camp - Parent's Page Supervision The Camp takes the safety and well-being of it's participants very seriously. We have implemented many policies and measures to ensure that all campers enjoy a safe and incident free environment. Our confidence in our staff and these processes has allowed us to add a supervision guarantee to our package. Since implementing our guarantee 5 years ago, we are still the only ski/snowboard camp in the world that formally guarantees camper supervision!

All camp staff have current first aid certifications, undergo police checks, and arrive weeks before campers to complete staff training programs.

All camp activities are supervised, and our child protection policy, medical response plan and camp operating procedures have been designed through close consultation with professionals in their field.

Remember: We are still the only ski/snowboard camp in the world that guarantees camper supervision!

For further details on our supervision guarantee, visit the guarantee page.

Safety

The safety and well being of your child is our number one concern. We have a high staff to camper ratio for this very reason.

In the event of an accident, the world class NZ resort ski patrol are there to deal with any incident. Any major accidents are referred by ski patrol to any of New Zealnads first class medical facilities. In addition, most camp staff have completed and hold current First Aid Certificates and are equipped to deal with unexpected situations.

In the event of an emergency parents or family will be contacted immediately by a member of camp staff.

Snow Sense

An important part of any skier/boarder's development centres around their knowledge of both their sport and it's environment. Our coaches constantly educate campers in 'on snow' common sense (snow sense), in an informal setting. Snow sense covers areas such as, on hill safety, awareness, ethics and respect for other mountain users. Campers are encouraged to understand their place on the mountain, and their obligations under the Alpine Responsibility Code.

Helmet Policy

All campers are required to wear a helmet at all times whilst skiing or riding during our Super Camps and Progression Camps.

Campers with Australian passports do not need a visa to enter New Zealand on holidays for less than 3 months. More information on immigration laws and requirements can be sourced from your local New Zealand Embassy.
