If you plan on flying into Vancouver, remember that Canada follows standard customs procedures to enter the country. Pack your gear, especially your snowboard, securely. There are many good snowboard travel bags out there. You don't want to arrive at your destination with a cracked board. If you forget something, don't worry.
Most camps have access to rental facilities and sport shops.
Reserve your place at the camp early, as spots tend to fill up fast. Most camps require that you arrange a deposit, with the rest to follow. Also, be aware that many of the camps won't offer a full refund if you have to bail to close to the actual arrival date. With some planning and less money than a round-trip ticket to New Zealand, you can be well on your way to riding heaven, right in the middle of summer. All rights reserved.
