Parents Note:

Because the campers are only four to a room, the "Things Going Missing" problem is mitigated. It's when kids are stuffed into rooms that problems start.

In 2008 we took The Camp of Champions to a whole new level. We formed a partnership with Whistler Blackcomb to create "THE DORM" and turn it into the dopest, freshest action sports place to stay anywhere.

We took over two of Whistler Blackcomb's Staff Housing buildings, one was redone top to bottom in 2007 and the other one is being redone top to bottom right now. New flooring, furniture, paint, and other upgrades. The accommodations are still spartan but that's exactly what we like about it. You can skate in the hall until 7:00PM. Each unit is a 2 bedroom suite with bunks for four people. We can finally take care of everyone's favorite request, more than one other friend in a unit. Camp has never been as fun as it is now because you can finally stay with all the friends you come to camp with.

Once we take over the buildings we put the COC stamp on them and turn them into what we dream a shred hotel should be. First up, make them fun, so we put in custom COC sheets, pillow cases and towels, drop five games rooms loaded with multiple 61" flatscreen TV's linked to XBoxes playing Rockband 2 and all the other latest EA games. Apple computers are in each games room too, just to make them totally over the top great.

The COC Store/Demo Room opens with all the latest collabo clothing and accessories from our sponsors and more demo snowboard equipment than you can imagine. The bike room is loaded with over $100,000 worth of the latest bikes from our sponsors. We put in our own 24 hour front desk, and the 6-10 convenience store with it's Slurpee machine, food, drinks and snacks.

With input from the campers in '08, we have changed a few things to make The Dorm even better. More TP, soap, shampoo, and towels in each room so you don't have to go to the front desk for it. We also now have a dedicated front desk instead of sharing front desk duties and space with the 6-10.

A lot of campers said their favorite feature of the Dorm was the couches on the stoop we dubbed "Sanford and Son" where you could chill and be in the middle of the maelstrom of good times that COC is famous for.

The crazy part is after 20 years of holding The Camp of Champions, moving to The Dorm, building The Compound and finally having "Our Own Playground" where we didn't have to tone down how much fun we could have, the summer of 2008 was the first time we ever felt like we finally got the formula right for an amazing, off the hook, summer camp. just wait for '09!
