Progressing What A Summer Camp Can Be
One of the missions of The Camp of Champions is to progress what a summer camp can be. Another is sharing the magic of COC and Whistler with the world. We built the COC App so more people could find out how much fun we have every summer at The Camp of Champions. Now you can check news feeds, photos, videos and contact us all from your iPhone and or iPad.
Every COC Video In The Palm of Your Hand
The "Video" section has all The Camp of Champions videos, so instead of carving AC/DC into the back of the bus seat while you go to school, you can watch COC coaches and campers rip it up in the park. You can access our interactive tour of the Whistler Bike Park through this section as well. Instead of clicking on the map, you can scroll through the trails, sorted alphabetically and by ability level required. Check out all the Weekend Warrior videos and more. Just click play. The app also updates the videos automatically when new videos are added. Never be bored again.
All Your Favorite News Feeds
You can use the COC app to keep up with news feeds from Pinkbike, Transworld SNOWboarding, Newschoolers.com, Whistler Blackcomb, GoPro, Push.ca, Burton, Powder Mountain Heliskiing and Catskiing, Billabong, Snowboard Canada, SBC Skier, Dakine, 4FRNT, Siberian Sandbox (the workout program a ton of Whistler pros do) as well as the Camp of Champions of course. The COC app pulls each of their feeds into the app so you can check all your favorite sites without hitting a browser.
You Can Drown In The Photo Section
The "Photo" section has every shot from camp loaded so you can check out or re-live every day of camp through every single photo that our photographers shot this summer. There are over 30,000 shots on the app. There are enough photos for 104 hours of stoke if you check out every photo for 5 seconds. I don't know if anyone has actually done that yet, but feel free to try.
Whistler Map
A cool feature of the COC App is that it uses the GPS feature of your phone in the "Map" function. The "Map" has everywhere you need to know about at COC and in Whistler already highlighted. When you come to camp and want to know where to meet us at "The Dorm", where to go to eat, etc, you can just click on the "Map" feature, and click on the preloaded location pins. The entire bike park has been mapped for the COC app so you can see where the best jumps are, where your favorite lines are and of course where the GLC patio is so you can meet us for lunch. Your location also shows up on the map so if you are in the park or in town you can keep from getting lost, or see how far you are from another run on A-Line. You can also see where "The Compound" is so you can meet us to session the Big Air Bag, the mini ramp, play Halo, bball, pool, ping pong hit the mulch pit and dirt jumps.
The best feature of the "Map" section is the interactive video tour of the Whistler Bike Park. The Camp of Champions, with help from GoPro, spent a couple weeks last summer filming every trail in The Whistler Bike Park in HD from two angles. The footage was then synced and tagged with a GPS point. Set up in a split screen format, you can ride with / follow COC coaches Alan Hepburn, Xavier Raventos, Brett Tippie, Jarrett Moore and friends Andrew Baker and Kyle McDonald through the Whistler Bike Park. If you are riding the park you can use it to pre-ride a trail to be safer by knowing what to expect. See the lines the pros take. Use it to get rid of your intimidation of a certain trail or to show your friends that are nervous about hitting the park that the Whistler Bike Park isn't just what you see in magazines. It’s also great for those days you can’t ride and wish you were in Whistler. Once you download the app you can watch the videos and all our other content on your phone from anywhere. Check out your next run - From the chair, from the GLC patio or from the other side of the earth and get stoked for your next day in the Whistler Bike Park.
