Here are just some of the reviews and emails that we have received from campers and parents:

Hi
I wanted to thank you sincerely for looking after my son, Bailey, at the 08/09 Super Camp in Niseko. I honestly believe it was the best investment I could have made for my son at this time in his short life.

Being the youngest at camp he took a few days to settle in but Nick was very understanding and did a fantastic job of integrating him into the group. Bailey's coach was awesome and his improvement with his snowboarding was nothing short of amazing.

He loved the lodge and the food and, most importantly, the Japanese people - he still comments on how kind and polite they all were. After a week he didn't want to come home and now he is keen to go for 6 weeks in 09/10. I would not hesitate to send him again even if the cost is a stretch - it was that great!

He came home fit, his self confidence had doubled, and his manners were still intact! - and he asked if he could learn Japanese at school (which is proving to be very challenging), something he would not even considered attempting 3 months ago.

Finally, please pass on my thanks to all concerned and you are most welcome to use this as a testimonial if you see fit and also provide my details as a reference.

Thanks again.
Kind Regards,
Lisa McAsey.

 

Hi Erin,
I thought I must write and thank you all so much for the T.L.C, endless hours of patience, knowledge and life lessons you have given so freely through the last 6 weeks. I'm sure Jack was so so sad to leave today after living his dream life for this time. … if Jack had of come home half way through the camp he would have well and truly had his monies worth. I know you all will have a lasting impact on Jack and will have changed his life forever for the better. I am really excited to see him, but I am also very sad that he is leaving that wonderful place full of opportunities behind. You are all doing such fantastic things for these young adults which you should be very very proud of. Will you please pass on my thoughts here to all the others involved and I would like to extend the invitation for any of you to stay with us should you wish to have some time in sunny Noosa - at any time.
Again thanks a million, I really cant say enough.

Hey Guys,
Thanks for such a sick time! So much better snow than oz, and we had 7 backcountry days, about the same in powder days, and the whistler park was off the hook! Plus I went into the Baker backcountry with Nick, insane!
Couldn't have asked for anything more.
Anyway, thanks again, had the best time of my life.

Take care
Rory

 

Hi Dirk,
Just writing to say thanks for organizing such a great camp. It was so much fun and I had the best time. It was really well organized and the coaches were really fun to be around. Lisa and Brockers also made life a lot easier for everyone by cooking and taxi-ing people around. It was a great trip and I'm really glad that i went.

Dear Dirk & Erin,
Firstly I would like to thank you both for making The Super Camp the most enjoyable & most rewarding expierence I have had overseas.
The professional attitude passed down through to each and every camper speaks for it's self in everyones progression in riding. I'd like to express my thanks to Trav, Alex, J-rad, Nick, Lisa & Hamish. They're contibution to assisting each of the campers both on and off snow was invaluable. They're caring and hardworking attitude added to the smooth running of the camp day in day out.
A huge thankyou to everyone who was invloved with the Super Camp!

Kind Regards,
Tyson

 

Dear Erin and Dirk,
I can't thank you enough for the wonderful camp that you once again provided for Scott. One of his first statements to me as we left the airport to go straight to school was that he was heading back to Seymour at the end of the
year! ( this was to his mum that he hadn't seen since the beginning of December). Erin I think you make a great second mum. Thanks.
Thank you also for the excellent treatment that you sought for him (after his fall). Again thanks to you both for the effort that you extend to give Scott such a great time. I wish you all the best for next year.

Kind regards,
Lesley

 

Hi Erin & Dirk

We really appreciate the care that you take with all the campers and how much effort goes into making it such a memorable experience.
Thank you thank you thank you

Hey Erin,
I just want to thank you for the most amazing time that I had on the camp! I can't explain how much fun I had, and it is wonderful knowing that I have around 20 new friends, that I'm sure I will keep in contact with for ever..
You and Dirk have organised the camp wonderfully and put on a great time!
With my riding, I am happy with how I have improved. The coaching was pretty cool, Trav is an amazing coach, he pushes you realllyy hard, and I found that I rarely had to ask him things, he would just tell me to do it......
Take care and I'll speak to you soon Erin, thanks sooooooooooooooo much once again

KRISTY... :):):):):):):):)

 

Hey Dirk,
i just found out something pretty cool and thought you might want to check it out. Remember that day when we all hiked out into the back country for the avalanche course and Kevin Sansalone was there hitting city booter with that filmer dude. Then Kevin did that method that you got a sick shot of. That trick is on the preview of whiteout-films new movie. Go to http://www.whiteout-films.com and watch the preview and like almost to the end Kevin does that method. It's sick footage and it's that exact trick we all watched that day. I'm so stoked that we were all there to watch a trick that's gonna be thrown into one of the movies. Hey, never got to thank you for The Camp properly. It was soo sick! There's nothing I can think of that would have made it better. I learned so much so quickly, and had the most memorable days I've ever had snowboarding. I'm sure I won't ever forget them. I got some sick photos that I look at all the time. I hope I can get back next year.
Talk to you soon,

Jack.
