Team Buller Spring Camp 2026 - Whistler, Canada
Team Buller overseas camps have returned in a big way, running in 2024 and 2025 in Whistler, Canada, during the Victorian School Holidays. The camp numbers continues to grow, with a record 60 kids taking part in the 2025 camp, making it the biggest in Team Buller's 40 year history for overseas training. The camp caters for all skiers and boarders covering all Team Buller training areas (Grom, Mogul, All-Mtn, Freeride, Slopestyle and Snowboard). You can live with Team Buller (age 14+) or with parents and just receive training only. The parents/families who also went over had a great time, and can't wait to go back in 2026! |
